Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The surface texture irregularities are consistent with the artist's choice of medium and working method. Under close inspection, there are a few areas of minor wear and handling, particularly along the corners and turning edges. There are a few very minor losses to the wood, possibly from the time of execution. Unframed.
