Condition
This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light wear along the edges, and a fine and unobtrusive tension crack running intermittently along the extreme right side edge. Extremely close inspection reveals a pinhead-sized puncture in the centre of the composition, which is likely to be inherent to the work's execution. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
