Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There is some minor stray media to the work due to the artist's working method. Under very close inspection, there are some minute, scattered accretions. There is minor wear to the underside of the work resulting in a few non-obtrusive pinpoint pigment losses, and a tiny linear scratch to the lower backside of the work.
