The Collection of Sidney Rothberg, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This lot is located in Philadelphia.
Condition
In overall good condition. The sheet is affixed to a larger cardstock paper along its right outer edge via a thin strip of paper hinge, so one flips the page like a book in order to inspect its verso. The larger sheet itself is affixed to the verso of the mat via two pieces of paper tape at upper left and upper right. With faint mat staining around the image. The sheet is slightly toned, and the ink has faded. With evidence of handling along the margins (smudges, rubbing). The edges are even, with no loss or paper tear. Slight wrinkling at bottom center right, on the veiled figure to the right (likely due to the hinging). Additional images available upon request. Frame: 15 1/2 x 12 x 1 in.
