Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is minor wear and handling to the edges, obscured when framed. Pinpoint stray white pigments are scattered in the brown and blue areas in the lower quadrant. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, various small spots around the edges fluoresce brightly but are not the result of restoration and are not readily visible to the naked eye; furthermore, they are obscured by the frame. Framed under Plexiglas.
