Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse to the backing board. There is evidence of light wear and soft lifting along the edges of the sheet. There are faint creases along the perimeter of the sheet and evidence of a few scattered areas of very faint, pinpoint surface soiling, which appear inherent to the artist's working method and studio environment. The color of the crayon appears to have faded slightly with age. Framed under Plexigas.
