This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of aging and slight discoloration to the paper, most noticeable along the edges, which are taped. Under close inspection, scattered unobtrusive light brown spot accretions are visible along the upper lateral edges, likely inherent to stray adhesive. There are oil stains to the sheet around the painted areas and drying bubbles throughout, inherent to the artist’s working method and chosen medium. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
