Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. This work is double-sided and the sheet is hinged verso to the mat at the four corners. The sheet is slightly undulated and there are creases to the sheet consistent with the artist's choice of medium and working method. There is evidence of minor wear and handling to the corners resulting in some creases and lifting of the corners of the sheet. Under close inspection, there are a few minor areas of foxing and some minor rubbing to the charcoal. Framed under glass.
