Condition
This work is in excellent condition overall. The paper is mounted to a stretched canvas backing. There are variations to the surface texture due to the artist’s choice of medium and working method. Under very close inspection and with raking light, there are a few scattered, almost imperceptible surface scratches. Not examined out of the frame. Framed.
