Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is light wear and handling along the edges of the work. There is evidence of some minor printed-paper accretions at the top tacking edge. Under raking light, scattered surface dust is evident. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is a minor surface accretion that fluoresces faintly in the upper left passage of the white window curtain, but is not the result of restoration. Unframed.
