Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and slightly loosely stretched. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable overall. Three very faint horizontal stretcher marks are present across the central quadrants of the work. In the lower center quadrant, to the left of the blue path, eight intermittent vertical lines of tan surface accretions are present, measuring approximately seven inches in length and two inches in width. Four pinpoint tan surface accretions are present in the lower right quadrant; two in the dark grey form, and two at the top left of the blue path. Under ultraviolet light inspection, a varnish becomes apparent, but no evidence of inpainting becomes apparent.
