Notes on Material


Comments on Condition
This work has two small cuts in the paper which were the result of the glass breaking, some 20 years ago. One cut is below the tail of the left swallow, the other is across the second 'C' of the artist's signature. In our opinion, both of these cuts could be professionally restored to minimize their appearance.
