Condition Report:
This work is in very good condition overall. There are tonal and textural variations to the surface, inherent to the artist’s working method and chosen medium. Not visible when framed, there is evidence of minor frame abrasion along the edges, including resultant pinpoint losses and a ½ inch loss to the upper left corner. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, a few minute spots along the left edge fluoresce darkly and appear to have benefitted from light retouching, which are also not visible when framed. Framed.

Framed dimensions: 16 ¾ by 14 ¾ in. (42.5 by 37.5 cm.)

Provenance:
