This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges including some very minor yet visible thin scuffs at the corners and some possible adhesive residue along the top edge just right of center. Under close inspection, a faint vertical line is visible along the lateral edges, likely a result of the artist’s working method. Also under very close inspection, a light pinpoint spot accretion is visible at the peak of the figure’s hairline and some very minor and unobtrusive pinpoint media accretions are visible. Only visible under raking light and under very close inspection are scattered thin and unobtrusive hairline scratches throughout the work. The vinyl sheet is hinged verso to the float mount intermittently along the edges. Framed.
