Condition
Frame: 20 x 25 1/4 inches. Behind glass; not examined out of frame. There appear to be a few instances of minute wear to paint beneath the glass. Some light scratches to the glass, the frame otherwise in stable and fairly good condition. See attached images for further reference to condition.
