Condition

This work is in very good condition. There is slight rippling to the canvas particularly along the top and left edges. Under ultra violet light, no apparent restoration is visible. A single 1 1/2 in. diameter area fluoresces, located 12 in. from the left and 5 1/2 in. from the bottom edge. This appears to be the result of a more concentrated area of varnish. Framed in the artist's black wood frame.
