Condition
I. This work is in very good condition overall. There is light scattered surface soiling particularly in the crevice along the extreme edge of the work. Surface abrasions that are most pronounced in the lower left appear to be inherent to the artist's working method. Unframed.
II. The edges of the sheet are deckled. There are artist's tack holes at the right and left edges in the center of the work. The work is framed in a triangular-shaped Plexiglas frame with a stand so that both sides are visible.
