Condition

Overall in very good condition. With margins. The margins present with uneven discoloration, most notably a narrow band along left sheet edge and in the lower right corner. There is an area of pale damp staining at the lower right verso that shows through slightly to the recto. The coloration of the print when viewed in person is consistent with the presentation in the printed catalogue. With an old (possibly period) stained oak frame. The frame with small and minor rubbing and edge wear, and some associated minor edge losses. The frame nicely complements the artwork.
