Condition
This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of very light wear and losses along the edges of the work due to abrasions with the frame, but this does not affect the overall image as it is covered by the frame itself. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals three very small and minor spots of restoration at the bottom left quadrant. Framed.
