PLEASE NOTE: That I sell vintage paintings. These pieces have a history and may show signs of wear; some have been preserved in excellent condition, while others might have spent years stored away. They are not perfect—frames might be loose, worn, or scratched, and the paintings themselves can exhibit similar imperfections. I believe these flaws add to their unique charm, but aim to be as transparent as possible by highlighting any significant issues in my listings. The best way to assess their condition is through the photographs and video provided, so please examine them closely as they are part of the description.
