  • Condition: Canvas: Not Applicable
    Condition: Excellent/Very Good
    Restoration: None
    Frame: Old
    Comments:
    There are pin holes from the artist on the four corners and two sides for a total of 6.
    The work has 2 small archival hinges at the top which are attached to a linen board.
    The board appears to be original, as there are also two pieces of remnant non archival tape about 1 inch by 3 inches in the center of the work which are no longer attached to the board. These do not appear to have affected the front of the work at all, but will need probably to be removed by a paper conservator. Please contact us if you would like to see additional photos.
