Under UV: There is a horizontal line of inpainting, about 3 in. long, in the lower right quadrant. There are small scatterings of spots (dime sized or smaller) of inpainting in the lower left, lower right and upper right quadrants, with a few stray spots elsewhere. The colors are bright and clear and the work presents very well.
