Condition

This work is in excellent condition. A minuscule flyspeck is noted close to the left edge, approximately 45 inches from the bottom edge, above the horizontal dark stripe. Close inspection reveals a minor area of mechanical cracking, approximately 1 ½ inches in diameter, along the right edge and approximately 43 inches from the bottom edge. There is a fine hairline crack, approximately 4 inches in length, noted 10 inches from the top edge and 35 inches from the right edge. There are scattered, very minor surface scratches noted in the area of the camera in the lower left quadrant, approximately 23 inches from left edge. Along the left edge, there is a minor area of circular cracking, approximately 21 inches from the bottom edge. Under ultraviolet light, this area appears to have been stabilized. The canvas is not framed.
