3.6.25-In my opinion regarding LOT: please note, I am not an expert on such works, high resolution images are available upon request, the sheet was examined in the mat as it remains affixed to the back board with adhesive tape, I am unable to fully examine the margins, there is no apparent watermark, the lower right corner shows evidence of a prior attempt at tape removal resulting in minor loss along the deckled edge, the verso exhibits overall toning with scattered spotting, most notably to the lower left quadrant, there is visible residue and light staining from previous tape applications along several edges, the sheet sits slightly loose within the mat window, the image itself remains well retained with strong color saturation, I observe mild edge toning and a few light surface spots within the composition, particularly toward the lower left area, which may be inherent to the printing process and age of the work, the mat displays staining, scattered spots, and areas of discoloration, all observed condition issues appear consistent with age and prior framing
