This work is in excellent condition overall. The collaged sock element is stable and intact, yet should be handled gently with caution. All impasto peaks are also stable and intact. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, some small smudges on the right side of the bottom edge of the canvas slightly fluoresce but are not the result of restoration and most likely the result of minor wear and handling. Unframed.
