Condition

This work is in very good condition. There are numerous tiny nicks and scratches, the most pronounced being a 4 inch scratch in the top right corner and in the front wheel. These are mostly superficial and only visible under raking light. There is also minute paint loss in the seat post, back wheel bracket, and orange area of the tire, though this is hardly visible and likely a result of the printing process. We would like to thank "In Restauro Conservart Inc." for examining this painting and their original notes are available upon request.
