Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the sides and edges of the canvas. There are scattered staple holes in the canvas along all four of the lateral edges, which appears inherent to the artist's working method. Under ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
