The painting is signed by the artist in the bottom center and dated 38 for 1938. For condition. There is some very , very old water stain on the back of the painting that has soaked through to the front of the mat and you can see some of the faint water stain on the mat along the far right edge extending about 1 inch up to about 1 1/2 inches from the edge of the frame. The paper does not lay flat inside the mat, the paper is a bit wavy. There is a small spot in the top center where the gouache has chipped or flaked slightly but not too bad.
