Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are some unobtrusive black spots and lines that are a result of the emulsion process and inherent to the artist's working method. Under raking light, there appears to be a pinpoint spot at the top left edge that protrudes out very slightly. Framed under Plexiglas.
