This work is in excellent condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board intermittently along the edges. All four edges of the sheet are deckled and the left edge is slightly fraying, inherent to the artist's working method. There is a small tear and slight loss to the lower left edge, again inherent to the artist's working method. There are horizontal creases throughout the sheet where it was previously folded, likely inherent to artist's intent and working method. There is a minor spot of discoloration between the wings of the bottom two birds. Framed under glass.
