Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling to edges of the canvases and some minor associated pigment losses. There are some light, scattered media accretions on the three canvases. Under ultraviolet light inspection, two spot accretions (one on the text area of the 1st panel, and the other at the center right of the 2nd panel) fluoresce brightly, but are not the result of retouching. Unframed.
