There are two pinholes in the upper right quadrant and a small repaired tear near the center of the ledge edge. There is some flaking to the white pigments with small associated losses throughout and some minor fading to the ink which has absorbed into the surface in a somewhat unusual way. Otherwise fine. This work is in good condition.
