10.23.25 - In my opinion regarding LOT: 3005—the work was examined in frame, the back cover was not opened and the plaque beneath the paper liner was not inspected, a careful visual examination reveals no evidence of chips cracks or restorations to the plaque, I note only inherent characteristic such as veining and variation to mottling, the liner displays light spotting and tonal wear most apparent at the lower left, the frame remains intact and firmly housing the plaque with scattered nicks minor rubs and light surface wear to the edges and corners, overall the presentation is stable and well preserved with no indication of major loss or restoration, all wear consistent with age and display
