This artwork is painted on an MDF board and has a delicate surface that should never ever come into contact with water, humidity, rain. One should avoid touching the surafce as much as possbile - never rub or scratch it, or put anything dirty or greasy on it. Use a soft brush or feathers occasioanlly to get rid of any dust should collect on it, if you must. Do not place directly above a radiator or open fireplace as the board could warp if exposed to sudden differences in temperature and make sure it is not exposed to heat or direct sunlight as the surface could crack. Finally, though this work is best shown without glass, but art glass could be a good option if one wishes to ensure it is perfecly protected for generations to come.
