Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The work is comprised of 2 sheets joined at the center. The sheets are hinged on the reverse to the backing board in multiple places. There are artist's pinholes in the 4 corners of each sheet. The outer edges of the sheets are deckled and irregular in some areas and the interior joined edge is unevenly cut, due to the artist's working method. Framed under Plexiglas.
