Condition
This work is in excellent condition overall. The surface is somewhat dusty overall with slight soiling around the extreme edges. All threads appear secure and stable with the exception of a few looser threads located 19 ¼ - 19 5/8 in. from the bottom and 1 ¾ - 2 1/4 in. from the right, and 18 ½ -19 ¼ in. from the bottom and 14 in. from the left. This is not unusual for the artist's work and originates from the process of fabrication. Stitching on the reverse is also secure. This work is unframed.
