Outsider Art

The piece is inside frame backed with masonite with the original gallery sticker from Mercury Gallery in London. There is no mat and the glass does not seem to be sticking to the artwork. There is a small rip in the right top quadrant on the side, one quarter of an inch long, by an eighth of an inch. There is also a slight amount of water that seeped into the frame. This is on the bottom right quadrant and is six inches long by half an inch high or less. There are two other markings of water along the left hand corner, and above that there is another small mark, both of which are an inch long or less. This work has not been examined outside of its frame. This work is in good and stable condition.
