Condition
There is a minor sign of scratch at the top left corner, presumably due to the artist's working method. There is very light discoloration along the edges, which is consistent with age and nature of the artist's chosen medium. Upon close inspection, there are a few tiny spots of paint over on the surface near the top edge.
