Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is mounted on canvas. The variations to the surface texture and pigment separation are due to the artist's choice of medium and working method. Under very close inspection and with raking light, there is a small area to the pigment to the center of the canvas with some very minor hairline craquelure and minor scattered accretions. Framed.
