Condition
This work is in good condition. There are a few scattered losses to the exterior edges. There are scattered horizontal hairline cracks throughout the surface. There are several clustered pin-point losses located approximately 2 1/4 - 4 1/4 in. from the top and 6-7 in. from the right edge. These cracks appear to be stable. The work was recently addressed by The Chicago Conservation Center, who consolidated the cracks with adhesives and cleaned the surface with aqueous solutions. As such the surface is clean, and under UV light, there are a number of spot retouching that fluoresce. Framed.
