Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The right edge of the sheet is deckled. The upper edge of the sheet is taped in two places to the mount. The sheet is slightly age-darkened along the periphery on the front and reverse, consistent with the age of the work. Tape residue along the edges on the verso from previous mounting is visible. There is evidence of very slight undulation across the center of the work, only visible under very close examination. Framed under Plexiglas.
