Condition

This work is tempera on paper, which has been incised. The sheet is not laid down, and attached to mount at the corners; the right edge of the sheet is perforated, but not visible in the mount. There are some very thin lines visible at the edges, some of which are the result of the overmount. There is a tiny abrasion at the upper left edge, which is not visible when framed. There is some slight unevenness and some surface scuffs, all of which are probably part of the artist’s process. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
