Condition

There is some minor surface dirt including some black scuff marks along the extreme left edge and one pindot of glaze in the area of the date at the extreme lower right corner, however the surface and the work overall appear to be in very good condition with no cracks or losses. The work appears to be cemented to a wooden panel which has then been mounted in a wall frame.
