Condition

This work is in very good condition. The aluminum is very slightly bent at the bottom left corner, visble in the catalogue illustration. There are scattered inconsistencies to the surface, which appear inherent to the medium. The frame exhibits light evidence of handling and wear. Kindly note that the aluminum support appears grey in the catalogue illustration as opposed to its natural aluminum color.
