賈許‧史密斯

日本，私人收藏

This work is in very good condition overall. There are minor signs of handling and wear along the edges of the canvas, including accretions from previous adhesive along the top edge near the upper right corner as well as near the center along the bottom edge. There are craquelure patterns along the perimeter of the work from the drying of the paint, likely inherent to the work. Under UV light inspection there is no evidence of restoration.
