Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. There is evidence of wear and handling to the edges, including scattered, pinpoint pigment losses along the top and bottom turning edges. The surface texture irregularities, scattered stray media and pigment separation are inherent to the artist's working method and choice of medium. The canvas is undulated, particularly along the bottom edge. Under ultraviolet inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
