Condition: Very Good
To the unaided eye, this piece appears to be in very good condition. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a normal fluorescence of the artist's pigments. There are no signs of damage or restoration. The sheet of paper on which the piece was done has light warping throughout. The piece is mounted under plexi glass with a white mat and is frame in a pale antiqued gold and silver frame. The frame is in fair condition with chips and abrasions throughout and separation in the corners. The plexi glass has some scratches on the surface. The piece has not been inspected outside of the frame. Verso: [handwritten on backing] Red Rocks, Cat. No. 255, John O'Shea 1876-1956 (The Artist's Life as I Know it. Page 127)
