Condition

This work is in generally good condition aside from light rippling overall. There are a few small holes at the top corners and some light creasing at the edges. There are some light scattered spots that may possibly be mold. The work may or may not be adhered at the far edges to a masonite board. It is currently trimmed by a filet and is backed by a piece of masonite.
