Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet has yellowed slightly with age. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, which appears inherent to the artist's working method. There is a ¼ inch soft vertical crease located in the lower margin, one inch from the left side. The right margin particularly near the top of the work exhibits rubbing to the paper which additionally appears inherent to the artist's working method. Hinged verso to the matte at the top two corners. Framed under Plexiglas.
