This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling along the edges including some minor areas of loss at all four corners and some minor hairline craquelure at the pull margins. There is a light surface soiling to the canvas throughout. Under very close inspection, a few minor abrasions in the upper left and right corners are visible. Under raking light, a very faint stretcher mark is visible along the bottom edge. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, a few minor pinpoint minor drip accretions and the aforementioned abrasions fluoresce lightly but do not appear to be the result of restoration. Unframed.
