Condition

The board is sound aside for the slight disturbance at extreme upper left corner. There is minor frame abrasion around perimeter of the piece. The colors are bright although the surface is slightly dirty. There is an artist pinhole at the upper right corner as well as two small punctures in the foliage of the plant at the upper left. Under UV light a few old retouches are visible, primarily in the upper right quadrant and near the bottom edge at the center; in addition what appear to be old retouches are visible in three thin vertical lines in the background at left center, otherwise fine. This work is in good condition.
