Condition:
This work is in excellent, stable and near original condition.
The lighter areas of the work may have discoloured slightly over time.
There are a series of very fine, hairline drying cracks in the initial application of white enamel paint.
These are old, stable, not visually distracting and would have occurred at around the time the work was created.
The work is housed in its original handmade artist’s frame.
