Condition
This work is in good condition overall. All of the elements are intact. There is some wear and some soft surface scratches, particularly in the lower right and to the metallic pigment. There are some possible, minor losses in the pigment in the upper right edge where the frame meets the panel. The left panel bows slightly. The artist's frame is in generally good condition. There is some space between the joining points of the corners, likely due to the artist's working method, and some minor wear.
