Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is light evidence of wear along the edges with some very minor hairline losses along the right edge. The board has discolored slightly. Under very close inspection, scattered brown pinpoint spot accretions are visible throughout the work. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are a few localized circular areas that fluoresce darkly and appear to have benefitted from light retouching. Framed.
