Condition
The paper is mounted to the mat in all four corners. There are pinholes to the upper left and upper right corners as well as one in the center of the top edge and the center of the right edge. There are three small 1/8 - 1/4 in. vertical tears along the lower edge of the sheet of paper. There is very slight rippling throughout the work consistent with the artist's use of medium. Overall the work is in very good condition and the colors remain bright.
