Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is light wear along the edges and at the corners of the canvas. Under close inspection there is a pinpoint pigment loss in the lower edge of the purple pigment quadrant in the upper right section of the canvas. The uneven surface texture is due to the artist's working method. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
