Condition

This work is in good condition overall. Pinpoint brown spots are observed to be scarcely scattered over the surface of the work, primarily on the bare surfaces of the canvas and around the edges of the vinyl adhesive, possibly inherent to artist's chosen medium and method of execution. When examined under ultraviolet light, the brown spots on the canvas and the vinyl adhesive fluoresce in a dark blue and orange hue respectively. Framed under glass.
