Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the sides and edges of all four canvases. All four canvases are slightly loose, resulting in slight buckling in the upper corners. There are scattered drip media accretions on all four canvases which appear inherent to the artist's working method. Under ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
