Condition
This work is in very good condition. There is a light rubmark to the upper left corner and to the lower left edge. Close inspection reveals some light wear to the upper edge. Further close inspection reveals some light burnishing to the raised areas, notably towards the left of the composition, and a small number of shallow and unobtrusive surface scratches isolated in a few places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
