Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is light undulation to the sheet consistent with the artist's use of medium. The upper and lower edges of the sheet are deckled. There are pinholes on each corner and sides of the sheet as well as the upper part of the figure's head. There is a 2 inch horizontal drawn line near the lower right corner which appears inherent to the work. The sheet is hinged along the edges to the matte. Framed under Plexiglas.
