Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling around the edges. There are a few light abrasions, one measuring approximately 2 inches located in the lower left corner and another measuring approximately 1 1/2 inches located in the black region below the figure. There are scattered nuances in the paint application of the green paint. Under ultra violet light inspection, these nuances do not fluoresce. The bottom 1 1/2 inches of the canvas do fluoresce under ultra violet light, presumably due to variations on the application of the varnish. Unframed.
