Condition

This work is in generally good condition aside from a few nicks on the left and right edges, a faint darkening at the edges, probably from an old mat, and a few old retouches in the sky in the upper left quadrant. The color is fresh. The verso is in generally good condition aside from some later touch-ups, probably to address some old foxing.
