This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of handling and wear to the edges and sides of the frame, most notably on the left and right sides, which has resulted in scattered paint loss and minor scuffing, particularly along the edges. This work has not been viewed outside of its frame. Framed under Plexiglas.
