This work is in excellent condition overall. The stretcher bars are slightly uneven against the wall, as evident from a side view. The surface textures are inherent to the artist's working method. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, a certain area of the gray paint near the center top edge fluoresces but is not a result of restoration. Unframed.
