Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse to a backing board. There are artist's pin holes in the 4 corners. There is time staining to the sheet and scattered evidence of foxing throughout. There are several marks and smudges to the medium, likely due to the artist's working method. There is evidence of light handling with some minor wear to the edges of the sheet. This work will be offered without a frame and is presently framed under Plexiglas in a Sotheby's exhibition frame.
