Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There are artist's pinholes in the top corners and there is a tear to the upper right-hand corner, presumably done by the artist at the time of execution. There are two small spot accretions towards the lower right corner. There is a slight rub mark in the upper left corner in which a layer of the paper has lifted slightly. Upon close inspection, there is a small tear on the left edge approximately 2.5 inches from the top and another small tear approximately 13 inches from the bottom on the left edge. Scattered creases to the sheet are visible under raking light. The sheet is hinged verso intermittently to the matte. Framed under Plexiglas.
