This work is in very good condition overall. The left and upper edges of the sheet are deckled. The sheet has discolored slightly with age and there is some very minor evidence of foxing. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. Under very close inspection there is an extremely small abrasion visible in the center of the sheet beneath the figure's chin. The sheet is hinged verso to the float mount intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
