Condition
Condition Report from Alvarez Fine Art Services, Inc. (Feb. 19, 2015)--Overall this watercolor & gouache on paper is in stable condition and does not present tears, paper losses, or planar distortions. The paper layer is totally mounted to an acidic masonite board support. Visually, the paper is moderately oxidized thought, heavier at the extreme edges from contact with acidic material and a natural process of aging due to UV light exposure. Otherwise, the pigments appear to be rich and undisturbed.
