Lithograph printed in colors, 1986, signed in pencil, dated and numbered 99/150 (total edition includes 15 artist's proofs), on Arches buff paper, published by Pace Editions, Inc., New York, with full margins, in good condition except the right sheet edge with a 1 inch tear and a shallow loss, the margins with two sharp creases at upper left, pale mat stain, minor surface soiling, framed

The print is in good condition as catalogued. The one-inch tear extends horizontally from the right sheet edge, not touching the image and appears to have been repaired at one time. The shallow loss at the upper right sheet edge measures 3/4 inch. The two sharp creases at upper left are diagonal and vertical, each c. 2 1/2 inches and neither extending into the image. Pale mat stain is visible only in strong light and mostly in the upper sheet, with occasional surface dirt also in the margins.
