Condition
This painting is in excellent condition. There is evidence of very light handling marks scattered, primarily at center, along the bottom lateral tacking edge. There is a faint abrasion to the paint surface located 2 ½-3 ¾" from the top edge and 10 ¼-10 5/8" from the right. Under ultraviolet light there are no apparent restorations to the canvas. The sheet of newspaper that accompanies the work is in very good condition with a small ½" tear at the bottom edge, located 1 ½" from the bottom right corner. It is adhered to the artist's cardboard box along the top edge. The canvas is not framed.
