Condition
Overall very good condition. The work has been re-framed by Sotheby's for the purposes of the exhibition and this later frame will be offered with the lot. Please contact the department from a photograph showing the present mounting of the work. There is a minor flattened crease in upper right corner. The work presents with minor surface dirt from handling. The edges of this work are machine cut edges except for the right edge, which has been hand-cut slightly unevenly and appears original. This work, with provenance dating back to the Tiffany family, presents in person with wonderful saturated colors and great detail.
