Condition Report:
The card is adhered to the mount with two strips of adhesive tape to the upper edge. The upper and lower edges appear to have been neatly cut. The extreme corners are slightly rounded, not visible in the present mount. There appears to be a very small spot of loss to the terracotta gouache in the lower right quadrant. The pigments may have faded very slightly over time and there is staining towards the extreme edges. There are a few instances of specks of detritus and possible surface matter, and light dust in places. This excepting, the work appears in very good overall condition.
