Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The top and bottom edges are deckled. There are scattered graphite smudges, which appear to be by the artist's hand and inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet has creased in spots, particularly in the bottom left corner and along the right edge. Close inspection reveals two small scratches, resulting in a very minor loss. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the top and side edges. Framed under glass.
