Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. There are several very minor inherent irregularities in the weave of the canvas, due to the artist's choice of medium. Under raking light, there are a few swatches in the red pigmented area that have a different finish, likely due to the artistÂ’s working method. There is some light scattered surface soiling. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
