Condition
Pinholes are present in all four corners. Potential waterstains are present in the lower left corner and center lower edge; however, these stains are possibly inherent effects of the medium used by the artist. There are very small holes present in the woman's sack; however, this may be inherent to the type paper. Overall, the work is in excellent condition.
