Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a border measuring approximately 1/8 in. around the lateral edges of the sheet which has yellowed as a result of having been covered by the matte. There are a few scattered soft creases; of note is a horizontal crease four and a half inches from the bottom edge which extends across the sheet. All smudges appear inherent to the artist's working method. Hinged verso along to the top edge to the front facing matte. Framed under Plexiglas.
