Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. Under very close inspection, there is evidence of very minor wear and handling to the corners and turning edges. Only visible under very close inspection and raking light, there are a few, unobtrusive pinpoint losses to the pigment. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are two very small areas at the lower lower left and right corners which fluoresce darkly. Framed.
