Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The edges of the sheet are deckled. There is evidence of very light handling along the right edge. Under raking light and very close inspection, there are a few unobtrusive surface abrasions scattered throughout. At the upper right corner the paper appears to have a different texture and has benefited from light retouching. Framed. Please note this work has not been inspected outside of its frame.
