Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. The variations to the surface texture and pigment are due to the artist's working method and chosen medium. There is a light surface soiling to the perimeter of the work and a minor vertical white accretion to the lower left quadrant and to the middle left edge. Under very close inspection, there is a non-obtrusive, stable vertical area of hairline craquelure to the center of the work. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
