Condition Report:
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the edges and corners, with associated hairline craquelure at the pull margins and minor surface scuffs to the black pigment near the center right edge. Under close inspection, there are two horizontal impressions near the upper and lower edges, which correspond to the stretcher bars, with associated stable hairline craquelure to the black pigment near the lower edge. Under very close inspection, there is a horizontal impression 1 inch from the upper center edge, which appears in line to the artist's working method and chosen media. Under further close inspection, there is a minor and isolated area of hairline craquelure in the center of the composition, approximately 10 inches from the center lower edge and 8 inches from the center right edge. Under ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
