Condition
This series of four canvases is hung as a single unit. The paint layers are stable, and no structural damages are apparent. The work has probably never been cleaned, and a slight layer of soiling is present. One faint diagonal 3-inch scuff and two faint 1-inch horizontal scuffs are present in the lower left corner and upper center quadrant respectively of the upper right canvas. Minor accretions are present around the extreme edges of the work which are consistent with the artist's working method and selected materials.
