Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There's a ½ inch repaired tear located 2 ¼ inches from the upper left corner. There's a 1/8 inch loss on the center of the upper edge of the sheet. There are two pinholes on the center of the right side edge. There is a flattened crease at the extreme upper left corner. The apparent staining appears to be inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte at the top two corners. Framed under Plexiglas.
