Condition
This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of wear along the edges of the work due to abrasions with the frame. Upon close inspection and under bright light, there is fine, hairline craquelure at some areas of the work, most notably at the blue pigment at the upper left quadrant of the work. All other inconsistencies are inherent to the nature of the medium and the artist's working method. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no signs of restoration. Framed. Framed.
