Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There are artist pinholes in the corners of the sheet. The sheet has discolored slightly with age and there are light but visible handling marks around the edges. There is a light black abrasion in the lower center and in the upper left quadrant. Upon close inspection, very fine craquelure is visible in the 8 and 3 where the medium has been applied the thickest. The sheet is hinged intermittently along the lateral and top edges of the sheet to the matte. Framed under Plexiglas.
