Swann Galleries, New ꦺYork, 17 February 2004, Sale 1996, Lot 113

Acquired by the present owner from the above

This oversized print, with deep rich colors, is in generally very good condition. Upon close inspection, the print appears to have been lightly rubbed, and fiber-like materials, which have the appearance of dust, are visible. Upon close inspection, two small circular losses are visible: one (1/8-inch in diameter) at the top edge, left of center, that blends in with the dark sky; and the other (1/16-inch in diameter) at the bottom right quadrant. These are not easily discernable from a normal viewing distance.
