Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of some wear and handling to the corners and edges resulting in a few, very minor losses and a few, minor surface scuffs along the perimeter. The surface texture and pigment application irregularities are consistent with the artist's working method and choice of medium. Under close inspection, there are a few, scattered surface accretions and some minor surface scratches. Only visible under very close inspection, there is evidence of a few, scattered, stable and unobtrusive areas of vertical pigment craquelure. Unframed.
