Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The sheet is hinged at the top to the backing board and window mounted. The sheet is deckled on all sides. There is some very minor discoloration to the sheet, likely due to exposure to light, which has not affected the extreme edges that were covered by the mat. There is a very minor crease at the center right and center left of the sheet. There are a few pin-points of foxing. Framed under glass.
