Condition
Condition Report as per Alvarez Fine Art Services, Inc. (4/3/130: Overall this watercolor and ink on board is in stable condition and shows no sign of paper losses or planar distortions. The board is mounted completely upon a vintage 1/8" thick acidic paper-pulp board. There is one small dent to the support at the upper-left edge due to poor handling. Visually, the paper is mildly oxidized throughout from contact with the acidic mount, and exhibits a moderate water stain with heavy tide mark over the left half of the image. Otherwise the media appears stable and undisturbed.
