Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged to the mat on the reverse at the top edge and window matted. The edges of the sheet are deckled and there is evidence of some stray media likely from the time of execution. The previous hinges are slightly apparent on the extreme edges of the sheet, only visible when unframed and underneath the mat. Only visible very close inspection when unframed and underneath the window mat, there is evidence of very minor surface soiling to the sheet and 2 pinpoints of brown surface accretions along the right extreme edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
