Condition

This work is in good condition overall, taking its age into account. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable. Artist pinholes are present in each of the four extreme corners of the sheet. A very faint band of rust-colored discoloration runs around the extreme edges of the sheet. Isolated areas of spots of foxing are present in the following locations, which are consistent with the age of the work: a one-inch circular area in the lower left corner, a 1/2 inch fine vertical line at the extreme lower center edge, a 1/2 inch fine vertical line in the upper right quadrant, four inches from the upper right corner.
