Condition
This work is in very good condition considering its age. This is a double-sided work and the medium is stable and tightly bound on each face of the wood structure. There is slight yellowing to the nylon string; however, this is due to age. The nylon string and the metal elements are secure. The paint layer is stable on the metal elements, and some minor corrosion from age/time is present on a few of the metal elements.
