Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable. The canvas is well-stretched. A dark brown drip accretion is present in the lower left quadrant of the sheet, two inches below the shadow of the soccer ball. A 1/2 inch diagonal red mark is present in the lower right quadrant of the sheet, one inch below the shadow of the basketball. Under raking light inspection, three one-inch circular areas of white discoloration to the sheet become apparent, one in the extreme lower left corner, and two in the upper right corner of the sheet.
