Condition
There are undulations and creases due to the fragile nature of the medium. Very minute losses to the paper and paint are visible under scrutiny as well as craquelure in areas of thicker paint. The edges are frayed, which is possibly inherent to the time of creation. Small losses and glue are visible on the reverse. This work is in good overall condition, as viewed.
