Condition:

A few minor very fine lines of hairline craquelure measuring less than 2 inches in length at the longest are present along the extreme edges of the striped panel, which are consistent with its age. Under raking light inspection, a few faint minor scuffs become apparent in the white panel which are consistent with its age. A few scattered transparent glossy drip accretions become apparent on the striped panel. A few white pinpoint spot accretions become apparent in the lower quadrant of the striped panel. The work is ready to hang.
