Condition

There is minor frame rubbing as well as very small losses to the extreme edges of the painting, not visible when framed. Small discolourations on the female figure above the duck are also apparent, but could be inherent to the painting process. Slight undulations are present throughout due to the medium. This painting is in very good overall condition, as viewed.
