This work is in very good condition overall. The left and right sides of the paper are deckled and there are artist’s pinholes at the corners and intermittently along the edges. The top of the sheet is cut irregularly, as intended by the artist. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
