Condition Report:
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the edges and corners of the board. The lateral edges of the board are separating very slightly in places, which is not visible when framed. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, the surface fluoresces irregularly which is largely the result of the artist’s process. Also under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are several small areas within the composition and along the edges that fluoresce darkly and appear to have benefitted from light retouching. Framed.

Framed dimensions: 25 1/2 by 33 5/8 in. (64.8 by 85.4 cm.)
