Condition

This photograph, on double-weight semi-glossy paper, is in generally very good to excellent condition. Upon close examination in high raking light, a few tiny, matte areas, likely foxing, are visible in the upper portion of the image and in the margins. There is some wear and chipping along the right margin edge. This print is flush-mounted to linen. Faint foxing is visible on the reverse. The stamps on the reverse read as follows: 'Sylvie Guillem, March 12, 1991' and 'UNIQUE PRINT.'
