The undulates slightly, due to the artist's choice of medium. There is very minor, pale time staining noted. There are a few areas of inconsistent pigment application, inherent to the artist's working method. There is a fine horizontal linear abrasion in the sheet spanning the lower left quadrant. Framed under Plexiglas.
