Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The edges are of the sheet are deckled. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method and the extreme edges of the sheet are slightly discolored. There are several artist’s pinholes along the right and left edges. Under very close inspection, a ¼-inch partial tear is visible at the center of the top edge and an embossed element in the lower left exhibits some light soiling. There is pinpoint evidence of foxing throughout. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the edges. Framed under glass.
