Condition
There is old tape on the right edge. The paint surface extends over the tape so it is clear that it was the artist's. Some of the tape (about ½ in. is mussing from the lower right corner. The other three edges don't have tape but the clean edges show that it was also used on them at the time it was painted. There seems to be some dust gathered in the surface of the painting. There is an 8 in. scratch, 2 in. from the lower edge. Overall, the work is in very good condition.
