Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. Minor discolouration of paper is consistent with the medium's age. Pinholes are observed on the four corners. Deckle paper edges and very minor bubbles scarcely scattered over thickly painted areas are inherent to the artist's chosen medium. Framed under Plexiglas.
