Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The sheet has yellowed slightly with age particularly at the extreme edges. There is a 3/8 inch brown accretion located 4 ½ inches from the top edge, along the right edge. There is a very slight undulation to the sheet consistent with the medium as well as a few scattered fine soft creases. There is a ¼ inch area located 6 inches from the right side and 14 inches from the bottom edge where it appears the paint was heavily applied and the top layer has been lost in the drying process. Framed under Plexiglas.
