Condition:

The work is in very good condition overall. There is minor rubbing with associated feather cracking to the extreme edges and corners, visible upon close inspection. There is minor lifting of the blue paint to the lower right vertical turnover edge, which appears to be stable. There are scattered vertical drip accretions, the most noticeable of which are along the right vertical edge and at the lower left corner, visible upon close inspection. There is a faint scuff to the lower left quadrant, visible upon close inspection. There are scattered pinpoint and small accretions, and brush hairs in places, visible upon close inspection. When examined under ultraviolet light, scattered vertical drip accretions and faint handling marks fluoresce, but there is no indication of restoration. The work is unframed.
