Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are scattered light scratch-like lines to the surface which appear to be consistent with the natural wood support. There is very light surface dust to the work. There are some spots that fluoresce darkly under ultraviolet light, particularly a 1 1/4 inch line that extends out of the ray, however the varnish layer on top suggests that these retouches are part of the artist's own process and there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
