Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method and the edges of the sheet are deckled. Under very close inspection, a 1/4-inch circular dent is visible in the upper right center area of the sheet and there is a 1/4-inch horizontal media mark along the upper right and upper left edges, potentially from the time of execution. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
