Condition
This luminous print, on matte-surface paper, is in generally very good condition. Upon very close examination, 2 tiny nicks to the emulsion are visible: to the left of the calla lily and in the lower right corner. In high raking light, various long, soft scuffs and hairline scratches that do not appear to break the emulsion are visible, primarily in the upper left and lower right quadrants. These scuffs are not, however, immediately apparent and do not detract from the overall attractive print quality.
On the reverse of the frame is a Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco, label.
