Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. Along both vertical edges and scattered in some cases within the design, there is some discoloration in the gold paint from oxidation and handling. The white surface appears to have an uneven modelling of paint in scattered areas inherent to the artist's working method. Under Ultraviolet light there are no apparent restorations. This work is unframed.
