Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of minor wear and handling marks to the edges and faint media accretion throughout. Upon close inspection, one very mild protrusion is evident on lower right with pinpoint paint losses. There is another minor paint loss to the lower left corner and impasto chip on upper left visible upon close inspection. Any impasto cracks are inherent to the artist's working method. No evidence of restoration when examined under ultraviolet light.
