Condition

Very good, probably original, condition. Surface dirt overall. There is a slightly raised area at the right center, most likely due to the frame installation and some acidification of the board. The upper right corner has also been slightly broken. In one of the grapes there is a white speck of what is probably a small dot of house paint. The work is generally in very good condition, aside from needing a cleaning and some structural work on the right side.
