Condition
Condition Report from Alvarez Fine Art Services, Inc.(4/11/14): Overall this watercolor and pencil on paper on thin board is in very good condition and does not present any tears, paper losses, or planar distortions. The paper is supported by a thin, vintage acidic board. It is difficult to say whether this was an original artist board or if the support was added later. Visually, the paper
appears clean and does not exhibit signs of discoloration or toning from light exposure. In addition the watercolor pigment is particularly rich and undisturbed.
