Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. The lateral and lower edges of the sheet are deckled. There is a slight undulation to the sheet. Under close inspection there are handling marks in the right margin 7 ½ inches from the lower edge and in the left margin 6 ¾ inches from the upper edge, and a faint grey abrasion in the right margin between 4 and 9 ½ inches from the upper edge. There are some small red media accretions visible in the margins of the lower left quadrant, inherent to the artists working method. There are some faint abrasions visible in the margins likely a result of framing. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the upper edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
