Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Very close inspection reveals some small and localized losses to the outermost edges of some of the protruding elements and in three unobtrusive areas on the surface of the supporting element. Further inspection reveals some evidence of wear and extremely small areas of paint loss to the corners and lower turning edge. There is a small drip accretion 1 ½ inches from the top and left edges of the supporting element that is likely inherent to the artists working method. The upper two clustered areas of protrusions are slightly loose but stable.
