Description
- Ruth Bernhard
- 'Classic Torso with Hands'
- gelatin silver print
mounted, signed in pencil on the mount, signed, titled, and dated in pencil on the reverse, 1952, printed later (The Eternal Body, frontispiece)
Condition
This print is in generally excellent condition. Visible only in raking light is a very small raised area in the left portion of the image, likely a particle trapped between the print and the mount during dry-mounting.
On the reverse of the mount, there is scattered, light foxing and a 3-1/4-inch scratch. These do not affect the print.
