There are cracks in panel ranging from approx. 12" to approx. 6".  There is a 1" chip to the paint at the left side edge.  At the right side edge there are approx.  Four small chips in the paint ranging from 1/8" to 1/4".  There are chips to the edge of the wood panel at the top and bottom.  TW 2-07-17  (Additional condition info as viewed in the unopened frame:  overpainting in the far LR, the far LL and along the bottom edge with the overpainting just touching the signature very slightly; painting has yellowed; slight losses to the panel along the top and the bottom; the very noticeable before mentioned cracks in the panel go all the way through the panel; signature matches that of Blakelock and does not fluoresce, but as far as we know the painting has not been looked at by the University of Nebraska for a designation and there is no guarantee of authenticity; no additional provenance available; frame is modern.  Rf, 2-11-2017
