Condition: 

This framed block print is in fair pre-owned condition. The artwork itself retains much of its original vibrancy and conceptual depth, though there are minor signs of age, including toning and some faded spots on the print surface.

Additionally, there are marks and a light haze on the inside of the glass, suggesting potential moisture exposure over time.

The original frame shows light wear consistent with age, adding a vintage charm to the presentation. Please see photos for details.
