Condition

Sheet is mounted to mat with corners. Sheet is hand cut so edges are slightly irregular. There is smudging and light soiling attributed to artist's technique around the edges, especially at lower and left edges, which are covered by matting. There is slight abrasion and glue residue along upper edge of sheet due to previous mounting. There are very faint fingerprints and palm print on right half of sheet, this may be from the artist. Otherwise this work is in very good condition with sharp colors.
