Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet has yellowed slightly with age, particularly around the edges, which may have been covered by an old mat. There is some minor craquelure in the red pigment at the upper right and lower left of the work. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
