Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse to the backing board at the 4 corners. The left edge of the sheet is unevenly cut, likely due to the artist's working method. There is some very light, scattered surface soiling. The sheet undulates slightly at the upper right. Framed under Plexiglas.
