Condition

Minor scattered paint shrinkage in upper left such as the blue and craquelere to areas of thicker pigment such as white and pink in upper right. Small intermittent spots of loss mostly notable along the upper half including the upper right edge (white and pink). This work is in very good condition, as viewed. It has not been inspected outside its frame. The pinks are more saturated in reality than reproduced in the catalogue.
