Framed.
Condition report: In good condition. The colours fresh and luminous. The sheet edges without tears or losses. The sheet due to the artist"s technique slightly warped. In the centre with a horizontal handling crease. At a few places with minuscule creases and very subtle fingerprints (presumably primarily traces from the artist"s workshop). Ultraviolet light reveals no retouchings or repairs. On the reverse in the sheet corners and at a few places along the side margins with paper tape mounted on the support cardboard (in the lower corners, the paper tape pushes through slightly towards the front). Very fine harmonious overall appearance.
