This work is ready to hang. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable. An artist pinhole is present at the upper center, one inch from the uppermost edge. Light wear is present along each of the edges, and a light layer of soiling is present throughout. Under raking light, two circular brown-toned accretions measuring one half-inch each in diameter become apparent in the upper center quadrant, at the edge of the boat. Under ultraviolet light examination, areas of fluorescence become apparent throughout the upper quadrants of the work.
