This report was prepared by Alvarez Fine Art Services Inc.:
This pencil and grey wash on paper is in good condition overall. The paper is mounted to a 1/4" acidic grey board and glued around all its four edges to the top mat. It does not present any tears, paper losses, or planar distortions. There are a few surface abrasions throughout the image which are most likely due to a broken glass at one time: a small surface loss and a 5" long scratch in the center right of the image, and a 1" v shaped scratch 15" down from the top edge and 9" from the left edge, are the most noticeable. Visually, the paper is mildly oxidized from contact with acidic material and a natural process of aging due to light exposure. Otherwise, the media is well preserved.
