Condition
Yellow specks of the medium are scattered throughout the black background, specifically in the upper and center quadrants. The surface layer, however, appears stable overall. Two gray lines, that appear to be faint crease marks, not inherent to the work, are visible in the white border of the center left edge and similarly in the white border in the lower right edge. The screen itself does not automatically roll up or down. Overall, the work is in generally good condition.
