Condition: Good condition. There is light soiling with friction and thin marks from the wooden frame of the canvas along the edges. There is rippled distortion near the center of the canvas and minor paint cracks along the perimeter. There are a few deposits that are not visible under normal light (please refer to the UV photographed images). Due to the structure of the frame, the artwork is not examined out of the wooden frame.
