Condition
Please note that the correct medium for this lot is tempera, pastel and charcoal on canvas.
The canvas is unlined and tightly stretched. There is very slight buckling to the lower left corner. There is also a 1 ½ in. scratch extending from that same corner—but perhaps inherent to the work. Overall, it is in excellent condition.
