Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The edges of the canvas are taped. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges and the canvas is slightly buckling in the lower right corner. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are a few very minor, scattered pinpoint spots in the black of the figure’s arm and that fluoresce darkly and may have benefitted from light retouching. Framed.
