Condition
This work is in very good condition. The work is comprised of two sheets that are well adhered to one another. The edges of these sheets are slightly irregular due to their hand-cut nature. There is a 3/8" area of lifting to the top sheet at the upper right edge. A few thin oil accretions appear throughout and are inherent, dating from the artist's studio. The sheet is framed in a wood frame with silver gilt facing under Plexiglas.
