Condition

This work is in excellent condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in multiple locations. The side edges are lightly deckled and the bottom edge is unevenly cut, which is likely inherent to the artist’s working method. There is a very minor, 1 ½ inch hairline tear at the lower left edge of the sheet, most likely inherent to the artist’s working method. Framed under glass.
