Condition

- In fair condition for its age. - Due to aging, the paper colour bears a dim tone. - Close examination reveals some paper loss and crackings which have been finely restored. The painting is now maintained in stable condition. - Nicely presented in abbreviated Song-style mounting, which most likely could be dated back to 1930s.
