Overall this work is in good condition. There is small passage of surface loss with a raised edge at the upper left edge of the over-matting, that appears to have been conservatively treated. The area presents in typical viewing as a bit brighter than the surrounding paper. The image is not affected. The colors in the print are bright and brush strokes distinct. There isn't any apparent fading or color blurring. This work has not been inspected outside of the frame.
