Due to the reflective nature of the plexi cover the work is difficult to photograph, it was examined in frame, paper shows an inherent rough edge, the work appears free of apparent rips or tears, a UV examination is unremarkable, we believe it to be an original work as described, there is no COA accompanying this work
