Condition

This work is in very good condition. There are two spot discolorations in the image which are visible in the first chair on the right, which appear to be inherent to the emulsion process. There is a soft diagonal 3 ½ in. abrasion extending from the bottom edge. This work is secured to the matte intermittently to an archival matte along the extreme edges within plastic photo strips and framed under glass.
