Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and slightly bowing outward. The surface texture variations and irregular pigment application are consistent with the artist's working method and choice of medium. The impastoed peaks appear stable and well intact. Under close inspection, there is evidence of minor wear and handling to the corners and turning edges. Only visible under very close inspection, there are a few, scattered unobtrusive pinpoint surface accretions and scattered stray media. Unframed.
