Condition
This print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally very good condition. The edges are rubbed, with tiny losses at the upper right and lower left corners. The lower left corner has an extremely small crease at the tip. To the right of the boy, near the edge, there is a small, barely discernible area of slightly warmer tonality. When examined in raking light, faint silvering is visible in the darkest areas.
