This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of light wear and some paint loss to edges due to abrasions with the frame, but this does not affect the overall quality of the work. Upon very close inspection, a few pinhole sized areas of paint loss and pinhole sized areas of accretion are visible at the surface of the Masonite board. Small, protruding dents on the surface of the board are inherent to the medium and any inconsistency is due to the artist's working method. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals evidence of restoration at the upper right quadrant, at center, at left edge near the bottom of the signature, around the upper stamp, and some minor specks of restoration above the lower fish and at the bottom quadrants. Framed.
