Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are scattered pastel and graphite smudges that appear to be by the artist's hand and inherent to the artist's working method. The edges of the sheet display some wear, and the glue that adheres the sheet to the backing board has become partially visible along the top edge. Framed in a Plexiglas box.
