Condition

Overall in very good original condition. With some minute scattered discolorations to the background of the print visible in the present framing. One minute scratch to the central portion of the print directly above the crest of the figure's turban, measuring less than a ΒΌ inch in length, which does not detract from the work. The image with very minor fading and the figure presents with beautifully saturated and vivid color. The background tone is slightly more lavender in tone when viewed in person. With some minor impressions to the paper from the original plate used to the print the image, visible along each of the borders. In a modern frame. A wonderful example of the artist's work with dynamic coloration and composition.
