Condition
This work is in fair condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling at the edges and corners with associated cracking. There is scattered evidence of brown liquid accretions throughout the surface which fluoresce brightly under ultraviolet light inspection. Additionally there are scattered losses to the paint primarily visible in the black painted areas. All other surface inconsistencies appear inherent to the medium and the artist's working method.
