Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse intermittently to the backing board. There is minor pale time staining to the sheet. The sheet softly undulates due to the artist's choice of medium. There are a few faint scattered water accretions, likely from the time of execution. Under very close inspection and with raking light, there is a very faint discoloration to the upper part of the left side of the sheet. Framed under Plexiglas.
