Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse to the backing board in multiple places. The sheet is deckled on all 4 sides and undulates slightly, due to the artist's choice of medium and working method. There is pale time staining to the sheet. There is evidence of very light, minor handling along the left edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
