Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling marks around the edges. Very close inspection reveals pinpoint brown accretion to the centre right edge. There is one tiny hole due to the loosened weaving of the canvas near the centre bottom edge, most likely inherent to original condition of chosen medium. No evidence of restoration when examined under ultraviolet light.
