Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The right and left edges are deckled and the top and bottom edges are irregularlycut, which is inherent to the artist's working method. There are pinholes intermittently along the edges, which have torn the paper slightly in some spots. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the edges. Framed under glass.
