Catalogue note
A good impression with the Prussian blue still strong in the water and the key block crisp. A later printing of a well-known composition rather than a first edition, and catalogued as such.
Condition report
Good Reported by Wen Hu on September 1, 2026
Toned overall, with some foxing to the margins, heavier at the upper left. A soft horizontal crease across the centre, visible in raking light. Two small backing repairs at the left margin, not affecting the image. Trimmed to the image at the right margin. Not examined out of the frame.
A condition report is an opinion, honestly held, given as a courtesy and not a warranty. It is not a substitute for examining the lot yourself, and the absence of a reference to a defect does not imply that the lot is free from it. Every lot is sold as is.
Provenance
- to date Private collection, Oregon.
Every provenance chain on this demonstration site is invented. No real collection, sale or ownership history is described.
