Condition

This work is in very good condition. The pigments are remarkably fresh and vibrant. Executed on pink wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the mount along the verso of the perimeter and is very slightly wavy. The right and lower edges are irregular. There are artist's pinholes in each of the corners and several nicks to the edge of the sheet, notably at center left, but not visible when framed.
