Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse to the backing board at the corners. The sheet is irregularly torn along the right side with two 1 1/2-inch tears in the upper center at the right. There are several scattered soft creases and evidence of handling throughout, which largely appears to be inherent to the artist's working method and studio environment. There is a very minor light discoloration evident at the lower edge of the sheet at the center. Framed under Plexiglas.
