Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is deckled on all sides and is mounted to a stretched canvas backing. The canvas is unlined. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the edges of the sheet and the tape applied to the perimeter of the canvas is slightly lifting in some areas. Under very close inspection, there are a few unobtrusive scattered pinpoint losses to the pigment along the perimeter. Also under very close inspection, there are a few scattered unobtrusive surface accretions noted. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
