Condition Report:
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the edges and corners. All tonal and textural variations as well as stray media and loose brush hairs are inherent to the artist's working method and chosen media. Upon close inspection there are minor strainer bar impressions at the upper right and upper left corners. Upon further close inspection, there are scattered brown spot accretions, most notably along the lower central edge. Under ultraviolet light inspection, there are a few scattered translucent drip accretions which fluoresce brightly. Under further ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.

Framed dimensions: 67¼ by 91¼ in. (170.8 by 231.8 cm.)
