Private Collection, Mexico City

This work has probably never been restored. A few spots of dirt can be seen on the surface, particularly in the white rectangle in the upper right. The work is dirty overall and will respond well to careful cleaning. There may be a few spots in the lower right that need to be retouched. In general the condition is very good.
