Condition
This work is in very good condition. The sheet displays minute scattered spots of slight foxing, primarily evident in the upper right quadrant where there are less artist's markings from the composition. The edges display evidence of a previous matting that overlapped up to 1/4 in. on all sides. On the reverse, the sheet exhibits an overall slightly darkened tone from contact with a previous backing and each corner bears traces of adhesive related to former 2 1/4 in. square mounts. The sheet is mounted at intervals to ragboard and framed in blonde wood under Plexiglas.
