Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Under very close inspection, there is a faint graphite mark that extends horizontally approximately 1.5-inches from the center of the right edge and a minor and unobtrusive surface abrasion in the lower right margin. The sheet is hinged verso intermittently along the edges to the matte. Framed under glass.
