Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board intermittently along the edges. All four edges of the sheet are deckled. There is stray media around the perimeter of the composition, which is inherent to the work and the artist's method of working. There is a slight discoloration along the right sheet edge two inches into the sheet, presumably from manufacture. Framed under Plexiglas.
