Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is significant dust accumulation on the artist's frames. Under raking light and close inspection there are a few minor abrasions on the surface of the prints. The most noticeable abrasion is a long vertical abrasion in the blue segment of the central panel, which is 19 inches long. The sides and edges of the frames show signs of surface soiling from wear and handling.
