Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The edges of the canvas are taped. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the surface near the taped edges. In the white-painted area of the upper left quadrant, there are light pinpoint accretions visible upon close inspection. As part of the artist's working method, there are some inconsistences in the white painted areas in which the paper support is exposed, but are not the result of paint loss. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
