Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Under very close inspection, there are scattered and unobtrusive surface scratches throughout. There is a minor surface abrasion ½ inch from the top edge approximately 22 inches from the left edge. Under close inspection, there is a round drip accretion 10 inches from the top edge and 23 inches from the left. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, the aforementioned drip accretion fluoresces but is not the result of restoration. Unframed.
