Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. Minor discolouration of edges of paper is consistent with the age of the medium. Light brown marks observed to be scarcely scattered along four edges are likely due to the aging of mounting adhesive, visible only upon close examination. Visible only upon close examination, very minor accretions are found scarcely scattered over thickly painted areas. Framed under Plexiglas.
