Woodcut has not been examined outside the frame but appears to be in very good condition with strong imagery and vivid hues. Artist's chop on lower left. Minor scuffs/nicks to finish of frame corners. Otherwise frame is excellent with intact glass, nice gallery paper on the verso, and wired for suspension.
