Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is minor wear to the lower right and left, and upper left extreme corner tips. Only visible upon close inspection there are a few fine tension cracks to the extreme over turn edges. There are a small number of pin-prick sized fly spots in places on the surface of the canvas. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
