Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The sheet is hinged at the top edge of the sheet. There is a mat stain around the extreme edges and an artist's pinhole in each corner. There is a repaired 'L' shape tear at the center right edge which extends approximately 3 by 1 in. (7.5 by 2.5 cm). A light brown stain approx. 1 in (2.5 cm) long exists in the upper left corner, there are tiny spots of similarly colored brown in the upper left and right corners. The edges of the sheet are handcut. There is possible abrasion to the surface where pigment is thinner although this may be inherent. Tape residue appears along the edges and in the place of the repaired tear verso. Framed under Plexiglas.
