Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is some evidence of light wear and handling to the artist's frame, including some minor spots of loss along the edges. The Celotex exhibits some light surface soiling, and there are scattered pinpoint accretions. The yellowed spots of the fence are intended by the artist. Each panel is framed in an artist's frame.
