Condition Report:
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of minor handling to the edges, including soft creases and evidence of slight separation between the layers of the paperboard. There are oil stain halos surrounding the painted passages, inherent to the artist's chosen medium. There is faint time-staining to the sheet, most noticeable along the extreme edges as well as a further 3-inch area of faint discoloration in the lower right corner. Under close inspection, there is a 1/8 inch tear to the paperboard at the center of the lower edge. Framed under glass.

Framed dimensions: 28 1/4 by 36 in. (71.8 by 91.4 cm.)
