Condition
This work is in excellent condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse in multiple places to the backing board. The right and left edges are deckled and there is pale time staining to the sheet. There is very light wear to all four edges of the sheet, not visible when framed. There is a slight undulation to the sheet due to the artist's choice of medium and working method and there is a very light smudge in the lower right corner at the signature. Framed.
