Acquired from the artist by the present owner

There are stretcher markings around the margins and extending down the center. There is a 1 inch long dent in the lower margin, center right. There are minor losses to the edges and an area in the lower part of the right edge that has begun to lift. There are some scratches to the surface, but these are most likely intentional. Overall the work is in very good condition.
