Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is very minor evidence of handling and wear to the edges which are fabric-tape lined. There are two horizontal abrasions on the left canvas: a ½ in. abrasion between the arm and chest of the white robe on the right side and another 4 in. abrasion underneath the wrist on the right side. Under very close inspection there are several scattered brown drip accretions on the bottom right of the white robe. Under Ultraviolet inspection, the aforementioned drip accretions fluoresce brightly, as well as other drip accretions which are not visible to the naked eye and are not the result of restoration. Framed.
