Condition: Scattered minor abrasions, surface grime.
Estimate $3,000-5,000

There are scattered scuffs most visible in raking light, and predominantly in the areas of smooth-textured black pigment. The smooth areas of the painting seem to have a different varnish than the textured central portion, and some varnish inconsistencies are evident in the areas where the two different surfaces meet. There are two approximately 1 inch abrasions, one at center and one at center left. There are some very small paint losses near the edges. No further condition issues to report.

Framed dimensions: 29 1/4 x 23 1/8 in.
