Overall Condition of Work
 •  Overall, this work is in very good to excellent condition

Methods of Inspection
 •  This work was inspected under magnification
 •  This work was inspected under ultraviolet light

Notes on Material
The work appears to be caulked on top of the white back panel. The white panel does host an extremely minor crack in the wood, on the far left side of the work itself, but does not interfere with the artwork. There is also an extremely minor spot of discolouration in the upper right quadrant of the white panel, possibly inherent to the materials and methods used by the artist. Although it does react under UV lighting, it does not interfere with the artwork either.
