Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The four edges of the sheet are deckled, and there is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There is some fine and stable cracquelure in the thickly painted areas. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the edges. The sheet is laid down to the matte. Framed under Plexiglas. *Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
