Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. The left edge is irregularly cut by the artist. Under very close inspection there is a very faint vertical abrasion visible 2 inches from the right edge and 12 ¾ inches from the upper edge. There are some small media accretions visible towards the lower edge in some areas scattered throughout, likely from the time of execution. Framed under Plexiglas.
