Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The surface texture irregularities and scattered surface accretions are consistent with the artist's choice of medium and working method. There is evidence of a few scattered pinpoint losses to the pigment and a few minor surface scuffs which may have been intended by the artist. There is a 1/4 inch area of unstretched canvas which appears to be lifting along the lower left edge. Enclosed in Plexiglas box.
