Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, which is inherent to the artist's working method. There is evidence of surface soiling on the reverse of the sheet, which is visible on the front of the work under close inspection near the right breast of the figure. There are scattered spot accretions in the bottom left quadrant of the sheet. The sheet has yellowed slightly with age. The sheet is cornered into the matte and hinged intermittently along the top edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
