Good overall condition. The piece has not been viewed out of the frame. The work is in good condition with no visible rips, tears or restorations. There is some light staining and foxing on the matte and doesn't look to affect the work on paper. The frame has some light wear to the silver leaf. Re-framing is suggested.
