Condition
This work is in very good condition. There are faint undulating scratches scattered throughout, visible only under raking light, which due to their repetitive and consistent nature, appear to be part of the artist's working method. There are very faint liquid accretions in the upper center of the canvas, approximately 4 inches from the top edge and also along the top edge, approximately four inches from the right corner. Under ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of inpainting. Framed.
