Condition
In good condition aside from slight overall surface dirt. Brown acretion to blue paint upper right at edge. Also minute indentations to same bue triangle where red paint underneath shows through. White, chalky acretion to red square lower right and raised circular areas in red and some in blue lower right. Other scattered areas where surface is raised but most likely from masonite below. Surface dirt lower center at edge. Under UV: spots at edge of green center square flouresce, but most likely due to artist's technique where surface is slightly raised. Others areas that flouresce appear to be surface dirt.
