Condition

Condition Report provided by Alvarez Fine Arts Services, Inc., February 19, 2015: Overall this watercolor on paperboard is in stable condition and does not present tears, paper losses, or planar distortions. The paper layer is mounted to an acidic paper-pulp board. Visually, the paper is moderately oxidized throughout from contact with acidic material and a natural process of aging due to UV light exposure. A moderate field of foxing is present throughout but more noticeable in the sky area.
