Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is laid on Masonite. Under close inspection, the sheet is very slightly lifting in some areas. There is evidence of very minor wear and handling to the corners and turning edges and minor soiling to the surface. Only visible under very close inspection, there are a few, pinpoint losses to the pigment and some very minor dulling to a few of the impastoed peaks. Framed under glass.
