Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. Under very close inspection, very minor hairline craquelure is visible in the upper left yellow-painted area and there is a pinpoint spot of loss in the green-painted area at the upper left quadrant. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte at all four corners. Framed under Plexiglas.
