Condition
This work is in excellent condition overall. The work holds to the wall on a bracket. Under very close inspection and with raking light, there are a few almost imperceptible inconsistencies evident in the pigment, particularly a pinpoint irregularity under the lacquered surface at the center right lower edge, inherent to the work. Under very close inspection, there is a very fine, unobtrusive linear surface scratch at the center of the work near the lower edge.
