The paint at the extreme edges is unstable, notably there is an area of paint loss to the upper right corner. There is a two inch impact area, which is slightly punctured to the centre of the lower quadrant, visible in the catalogue illustration. Ultra violet light reveals no signs of retouching. This work is in fair condition.
