Condition
This work appears in very good condition. There is evidence of general light wear to the box and scattered fine scratches on the underside resting point and extreme right edges. Otherwise, there are no condition problems with this work as all other nuances and irregularties appear inherent to the artist's working method.
Please note this work was executed circa 1960.
