Condition

This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of wear and losses along the edges of the work due to abrasions with the frame. There are pinholes at the corners of the work, but this is likely due to the artist's working method. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no sign of restoration as viewed. Framed, under plexi glass.
