Condition
There are some scratches and wear with associated pigment losses to the corners and edges, notably top and bottom. Slight buckling is present throughout and a small scuff along the left edge (by the horse) is also noticeable. A few minor creases especially in the middle of the work (near carriage) are visible only upon close inspection. This work is in overall very good condition as viewed. Colors are slightly darker in the catalogue illustration.
