Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. All of the elements are intact. The medium has been applied slightly unevenly and there are scattered areas of bubbling in the enamel, which is inherent to the medium and working method of the artist. There is some light surface dust within the recesses of the rhinestone elements. There is evidence of a hairline crack in the enamel of bottom right quadrant of the far right panel in the second row. Unframed.
