Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The margin has yellowed slightly with age. There is evidence of minor, scattered accretions in the margin. The extreme edges show evidence of light skimming, presumably from an earlier framing. There is very fine craquelure in the bottom right corner of the red rectangle. The paperboard is laid into the matte. Framed under Plexiglas.
