Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. Each panel is unlined. There is light wear at the turning edges and corners of all three panels and the uneven surface texture is due to the artist's choice of medium and working method. There is evidence of minor surface accretions in the lower quadrant of the right panel. Unframed.
