Condition Report:
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the edges and corners, including faint craquelure at the pull margins. There is a minute brown spot accretion in the lower left corner. The black pigment has been applied thinly, and reveals the gray layer underneath, inherent to the artist’s working method and chosen medium. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.

Framed dimensions: 39 1/2 by 31 3/4 in. (100.3 by 80.6 cm.)
