Condition

This work is in overall good condition. Evidence of minor foxing scattered across the surface which is consistent with the age of the work, visible only upon close examination. Faint creases can be observed next to and along the right leg of the figure and also on the upper right edge of the work, visible only upon close examination. Two very minor spots can be observed located on the figure's right knee and next to the figure's right shoulder, unobtrusive to the work. Framed under Plexiglass.
