There is pale time staining and discoloration to the sheet. The right and left edges are deckled. There are scattered smudges, minor creases, and scattered light surface abrasions evident due to the artistÂ’s working method and choice of medium. There are unobtrusive pinholes along the bottom edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
