Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The sheet is hinged to the reverse of the backing board in multiple locations. The sheet is deckled on all 4 sides. The sheet undulates slightly, due to the artist’s choice of medium. There is minor soiling, pale time staining to the sheet, and a few points of faint foxing on the reverse. There are some faint, linear accretions in the lower left edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
