Condition
The sheet appears in very good condition overall. There are artist's pinholes in all four corner edges. The sheet has yellowed very mildly with age. There is extremely faint soiling along the top and bottom edge of the sheet. There are two ½ square inch remnants of tape residue, one at the bottom center of the sheet approximately 2 ½ in. from the bottom edge and one located 2 in. above the head. There is a pinsize spot of foxing in the upper center of the composition. The paper appears supple and there is undulation at the edges presumably from hinging. Framed under Plexiglass. Mounted on an acid free matte.
