The artwork is framed in its original taupe mat and a thin wooden frame painted black with gold pinstripes. The seal of the paper backing was opened to replace the glass but has been taped back in place to retain the stamp on the back, which authenticates that the work was framed at 'The Art Lovers' at 2418 Broadway and 89th St in New York, NY.
