The piece is signed and noted ‘New Haven’ in ink to the lower right and is titled faintly to the lower left. It is signed in black ink to the lower right. The artist’s estate stamp is visible to the piece’s verso. The work is presented without matting or framing, awaiting your choice of presentation.
