Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There is a pinpoint area of loss in the center. Under close inspection, very faint hairline craquelure is visible in the thickly painted areas and there are scattered pinpoint spot accretions. Under raking light, very faint and unobtrusive abrasions are visible. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte along the top edge. Framed under glass.
