Condition
This work is in excellent condition overall. There is evidence of minor dust accumulation to the surface particularly on the corners. The surface variations and irregularities are consistent with the artist's working method and choice of medium. Only visible under very close inspection, there are a few very minor pinpoint losses to some of the peaks of impasto. Unframed.
