Condition

The work is in good condition overall. There is light wear and handling around the edges but it does not detract from the overall quality of the painting. The paint layers are healthy and stable and the canvas is clear and taut. Upon close observation, three specks of media accretion are visible (above signature, below the elbow of the seated woman and to the right of the water guy). No restoration is found under ultraviolet light inspection. Framed.
