Condition
The colors are vibrant and there is no apparent smudging. The gold leaf from the frame has rubbed-off onto the paper, which can be cleaned by a restorer easily. There is also some darkening to the edges from previous matting. There is a very small flattened crease in the upper right quadrant. Overall, it is in very good condition.
