Condition Report:
The work was inspected unframed. The outer edges have slightly yellowed with age. A frame rubbing is visible in places. A few tiny handling marks are visible in places. Upon close inspection, there is a clean cut (approx. 3 cm long) on the upper outer edge, which does not affect the subject of the composition. Upon extremely close inspection, a tiny light yellow media accretion appears towards the lower right corner. The colours are vivid and well-preserved. On the reverse, there are scuff marks on the surface of the sheet. This work is in overall good condition.
