Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The surface is bright, fresh and clean. There is evidence of very light wear and handling toward the edges, resulting in two faint, horizontal surface abrasions at the bottom center of the canvas. Under ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
