Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling, resulting in some slight rubbing to the paint layer and very minor spots of paint loss. The wood is bent along the top and bottom edges, which appears to be inherent to the artist's choice of medium. The wood is splintered at the bottom left side and is chipped slightly at the bottom right, which is visible under close inspection. The surface is covered with a glaze or varnish. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration.
