Condition Assessment
Good to Very Good; visible undulations in the paper under the glass suggesting it may not be fully flattened, but no apparent foxing or fading

$300 - $700
Auction Estimate
$200 - $450
Provenance History
Numbered XIX/XXX (19/30) in Roman numerals, indicating a small deluxe or international edition; current ownership via private collection
Art Historical Significance
Representative of late 20th-century 'intimist' trends where mundane domestic settings are treated with the gravity of still-life painting, echoing the quietude of artists like Andrew Wyeth or Vilhelm Hammershøi.
Notable Features
Rare use of Roman numerals for the editioning (XIX/XXX), which often signifies a specific part of a larger run (such as an artist's proof set or a European market edition).
Condition Issues
Slight 'waving' or cockling of the paper support, which is typical for prints not dry-mounted; some minor dust or debris visible on the inner matting.
Conservation Recommendations
Check for acid-free matting; ensure the glass is UV-protective to prevent fading of the delicate tonal shifts. Professional reframing to flatten the sheet would be beneficial.
