Condition
The paper is laid down on canvas; the paper seems to be bubbling/lifting from the canvas in some areas. Smudging of the gouache is visible along the lower quadrant and lower left edge of the work. Small flecks of loss to the gouache are visible throughout. A water stain, possibly not inherent to the work, is visible in the upper left quadrant. A crease measuring approximately one inch in length is visible as it extends from the lower center of the left edge. Pinholes are present in all four corners and on all of the four edges of the sheet. Overall, the work is in very good condition.
