Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There are some minor creases in the paper and a slight undulation to the sheet. There are some minor graphite smudges and ink splatters, which appear to be from the hand of the artist. A vertical, slightly yellowed impression is faintly visible down the center of the sheet where the two sheets of paper are affixed. The sheets are hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges, and the hinges are slightly visible on the front of the sheet. Framed under Plexiglas.
