Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse to the backing board in multiple places. There is pale time staining noted to the sheet. The sheet undulates slightly due to the artist's choice of medium and working method. There is light surface soiling in the upper left of the sheet. There are soft creases noted in the lower left corner and at the bottom edge, below the artist's dedication. This work will be offered unframed.
