Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges with some very minor and unobtrusive resultant paint loss at the turning edges. Under very close inspection, a light black ¼-inch abrasion mark is visible between the figure’s breasts. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. The board is Velcro-ed to the backing board of a frame. Framed.
