Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The varied surface texture and areas of splintering to the wood are inherent to the artist's working method and choice of medium. Under close inspection, there are two hairline surface scratches at the center left near the edge. There is a small indentation on the upper left along the turning edge. There is a faint white accretion in the center right, near the edge. Unframed.
