Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The top edge of the sheet is perforated, and there is one pinhole in the bottom center in the sheet, all of which appears inherent to the artist's working method. There are scattered graphite smudges and handprints, particularly toward the edges, which appear to be by the artist's hand. The sheet is hinged along the top and side edges to the matte. Framed in a Plexiglas box.
