Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is stray media and evidence of light wear to the sides of the flag, which is inherent to the working method of the artist. There is a surface inconsistency in the gold leaf in the upper right quadrant located 12 inches from the top edge and 11 inches from the right edge, which is only visible under close inspection and raking light. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
