Condition
This work is in good condition overall. All four edges are deckled, which is inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet has yellowed slightly with age, particularly toward the edges of the sheet, which also show some evidence of handling. There are some faint and scattered accretions, including two yellow accretions along the right edge and a brown smudge on the left edge and upper left corner. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
*Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
