Each panel measures about 14 3/8"V x 9 5/8"H. The print has very good color and is in good to fair overall condition. The panels are separate and are not backed. Margins are evident. There are old repairs both to wormage holes and to areas of paper loss. The paper is wrinkled around some of the repairs. Soiling is evident. This triptych is from an old New Orleans collection.
