Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The bottom edge of the paper is unevenly cut, presumably by the hand of the artist. There is some fine stable craquelure in the yellow painted area. The paper is torn slightly along the left edge toward the bottom, and there is an approximately 5 inch long repaired tear along the top edge of the paper in the center. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed under Plexiglas.
