Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet inherent to the artist’s working method. The sheet has yellowed slightly with age. The colors are bright and fresh. Under very close inspection, some very minor hairline craquelure is visible in the red painted area at the lower right. Under raking light, a few scattered unobtrusive light abrasions are visible in the upper and lower right corners. The sheet is hinged verso intermittently to the matte. Framed under glass.
