Condition
This work is in good condition overall. Evidence of general wear in handling observed across the surface of the work. Faint scratches are found scarcely scattered across the panels, the most prominent located on the second panel from the left 65 cm down from the top edge, and the far right panel 20 cm down from the top edge. Minor signs of abrasion are observed, primarily on the reverse of the first panel on the left 10 cm from the top edge, and the third panel from the left 59 cm down from the top edge. Evidence of light accretion is observed on the reverse of the top right corner of the panel on the far right. A faint grey mark is found located on the third panel from the far right 7cm down from the top edge, visible only upon close examination. All aforementioned condition issues are consistent with age and use of the work.
