This work is in very good condition overall. The edges of the sheet are deckled. There are artist's pinholes in all 4 corners. There is a slight undulation to sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There is a minor and unobtrusive 1/8 inch fold to the lower left edge of the sheet. There is craquelure in the areas of thicker paint application, resulting in some minor areas of loss. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. There are scattered light surface abrasions visible under raking light. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
