Condition
The colors are very fresh. The actual image size is 9 1/8 by 10 1/8 in. There are slight losses to the upper left and right corners and pinholes to all four corners, consistent with tacking by the artist. Water staining to right margin and a few drops to lower right perhaps consistent with the artist's medium. On the verso, old brown mounting tape on all four borders. There is slight soiling to the back and it is numbered 3 in pencil. Overall in good condition.
