Condition
Overall the work is in excellent condition. The canvas is unlined. There is some minor surface soiling in some of the exposed areas of canvas. In the thickest areas of pigment there are some drying inconsistencies, including lines of non-linear pigment drying and evidence of air-bubbles, inherent to the artist's working method. The surface is richly textured and retains varied impasto. Framed.
