Condition
This work on paper has been framed behind glass, as is appropriate. The paper on which it is painted has been mounted onto linen and is stretched onto a good stretcher. The paint layer is stable, even in the upper left where the white paint is very heavy. A few spots in the paper have acidified slightly and there are possibly slightly discolored spots here and there as a result, but the work is in particularly good condition given this artists sensitive technique.
