Anderson Gallery, Buford, where acquired by the present owner, 23rd November 2002

Not viewed out of the frame. The sheet appears to have been affixed to the mount. The sheet undulates slightly, with several soft creases apparent in the upper right quadrant. The edges of the sheet are slightly worn, and there is one very small tear at each of the upper horizontal and right vertical edges. With further minor creasing and a very small scuff to the extreme tip of the upper right corner. There is some light surface dirt across the work, with some very small flecks of scattered dirt towards the right vertical edge. The graphite is strong and stable, and subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition. The work is float mounted and presented in a painted wooden frame, held under glass.
