This work is in very good condition overall. There is very minor evidence of wear and handling along the edges, including hairline craquelure at the pull margins. Under very close inspection, scattered white pinpoint media accretions are visible along the bottom edge and there are several scattered accretions visible throughout: an one orange pinpoint media accretion 5.5-inches from the right edge and 23-inches from the bottom edge and a brown pinpoint media accretion 18.25-inches from the right edge and 13-inches from the bottom edge. Under raking light, a very faint 4-inch vertical drip accretion is visible in the second royal blue triangle in the lower left corner. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, scattered areas in the yellow triangles, mostly in the upper half of the composition and along the edges of the triangles, fluoresce lightly darkly. Additionally, the faint 4-inch vertical drip accretion fluoresces brightly but does not appear to be the result of restoration. Framed.
