Cibachrome print, signed, titled, dated, and editioned 7/40 in ink in the margin, framed, a Richard Gray Gallery, Chicago, label on the reverse, 1981

This Cibachrome print is in generally excellent condition. The colors remain rich and saturated, with no apparent fading. There is a tiny deposit of indeterminate nature at the lower right corner. In raking light, the following are visible: a few scattered, very minor surface scratches that do not appear to break the emulsion; and some smudges and fingerprints, primarily in the margins. The right margin edge is gently bumped with associated minor chipping. There is some very minor soiling at the edges on the reverse.
