Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. All three canvases are unlined. The variation to the pigment and areas of pigment separation are due to the artist's working method and choice of medium. Under very close inspection, there is some minor dust accumulation to the work. There are a few scattered fine, stable cracks to the thicker areas of impasto, some areas resulting in minor, unobtrusive pigment loss, which is only viewable under close inspection. Unframed.
