Condition
Work is in very good condition. The medium is well preserved and protected with tissue paper over the reverse. There are a few very minor chips to the extreme edges of the glass. Some minor surface dirt along the perimeter. There is a separate abstract oil sketch on the interior of the backing board which is also likely by the artist.
