Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The work has been examined in its frame. There is slight wrinkling to the paper along the right border; a crease is also present in the middle of the right edge. A stain is present in the lower right corner. Some discoloration to the edges of the paper is visible, more than likely due to a previous frame/mat.
