Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse in multiple places to the backing board. There is faint time staining to the sheet, with some darkening particularly at the outermost edges. The pigment is vibrant, particularly given the age of the piece. Upon very close inspection there are two minor pinholes in the sheet at the center of the 2 circular forms, due to the artist's working method and use of a compass. Framed under Plexiglas.
