Some light scratches and surface dirt to the Plexiglas and a narrow, inconspicuous 1.5 inch abrasion in upper left corner. The colors are slightly uneven, particularly the light blue. The reverse is in good condition, aside from a few spots of surface dirt, and a small hole in the center of the upper wooden support. (Small surface repair to upper wooden support on the reverse, not structural and there is a seam in the ragboard, inherent to production.)
