Condition

Fairly Good Condition. Sheet is backed at edges with what looks like old tape. Sheet is also laid down on a second white sheet, which is laid on a cardboard box. Edges are rough, with small loss in upper right corner. At upper left, there is a larger v-shape loss of about 1/2 inch in length at the corner of sheet. There are a few tiny nicks and tears to edges. Faint smudge appears about 2 inches above the lower edge in the yellow ground which may be a studio stain. Pastels are fresh and bright.
