Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. There are some variations to the pigment due to the artist’s working method. There is a minor indentation at the upper right corner, about 3 inches from the edge. There is light wear to the turning edges, most noticeably at the upper right and lower right edges. There is a minor abrasion to the extreme perimeter of the center left edge. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there appears to be a very small point of restoration to the center of the canvas. Unframed.
