Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. All of the edges are deckled. The scattered graphite smudges appear to be by the hand of the artist. There are variations in the tonality of the paint application, which appear to be inherent to the medium and the artist's working method. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
