Condition

This work is in very good condition overall and the colors are vibrant. There is a slight rippling to the paper presumably resulting from the media application to the paper. There are original artist pin holes in each of the corners. There are handling marks along the edges, the most prominent of which is located approximately 4 ½ in. from the top edge and 14 ½ in. from the left edge. Framed under Plexiglas in a silver gilt wood frame..
