Condition
This work is in good condition. There is occasional minor blistering inherent to the artist's choice of medium and minor chips to the impasto at the lower centre. There are faint brown abrasion marks along the top edge visible only under raking light. There are also minor accretions at the tips of the impasto, most likely from previous packing material, and minor bubble wrap marks near the upper right edge. No evidence of restoration under UV examination.
