Condition
The Masonite is affixed to a stretcher and there appears to be minor frame abrasion along the extreme edges. There are a few pindots of possible surface accretion in the lower right quadrant. The work retains an Eli Wilner & Co. frame. Under UV: although some pigments fluoresce, they appear to be the artist's original work.
