Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. The upper corners are very minorly dog-eared and there are some paper fibers visible along the lateral and upper edge, presumably from when the sheet was cut. Under very close inspection, two faint white horizontal lines are visible along the bottom edge, likely from the time of execution, and there is a ¼-inch red pen mark at the lower center edge. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte at each corner. Framed under glass.
