This work is in very good condition overall. There is an 1/8 inch white horizontal line at the top left corner that appears inherent to the emulsion process. There is a light impression in the surface, along the figure’s torso. A very fine linear abrasion 2 ½ inches long is along the figure’s torso and is only visible under raking light conditions. The paper is cornered into the matte and is framed under Plexiglas.
