Provenance
The Estate of the Artist
Condition
Not viewed unframed. The board is laid onto a supporting linen-covered mount. There is some paint loss to the extreme edges of the board, most apparent along the left hand vertical edge and along the lower horizontal edge. On close examination there is a slight surface bloom to the black pigments at the lower half of the work. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals some slight fluorescence in the red painted areas which appears to be consistent with the artist's working materials.
The work is framed and glazed, float mounted and housed in a simple painted wooden frame.
