I have not examined the art outside of the frame, since it was already nicely framed when I acquired it. The frame looks very good, with light wear overall; the frame has a few very small dents/dings. The black paper backing has some minor rips. In my opinion, this piece of art is ready to hang and enjoy. Please review the description and photos, and ask any necessary questions prior to bidding or buying. Terms of Sale 1.
