Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The edges show evidence of light wear and handling. The edges are slightly irregular with some build-up of residue from the wax. There are scattered surface scuffs and some particles have adhered to the surface of the wax. There are a series of scratches in the dark lowest quarter of the work which appear to be inherent to the artist's working method and medium. The paper has been stained by the artist and this has led the brown color of the paper. There appear to be normal signs of aging and foxing scattered across the sheet of paper. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the edges. Framed.
