Condition
This work is in excellent condition. There are artist's pinholes to the corners and as to be expected with the nature of the media, the paper tone has very slightly darkened over time. Very close inspection reveals some minute traces and flecks of red and white pigment scattered to the paper surface, most probably from the time of execution. The work is framed in a white painted wood frame and ragboard matte under Plexiglas.
