Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There are pinholes at the corners and all four edges are deckled. There are scattered pastel smudges and a very slight undulation to the sheet, which appears inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
