Condition

Executed on painted board, fixed to the mount with a window for the inscription on the reverse. A close inspection reveals a small paint-loss in each of the lower corners, not visible when framed. Apart from some tiny scattered media marks and some time-staining, mostly along the lower left and right edges, this work is in very good original condition.
