Condition

This work is in good condition. The sheet is hinged to the mat at the edges. There is some distortion to the sheet inherent to the artist's materials. There are some scattered losses along the lighter blue stripe at lower right beneath the squash and a possible pindot loss in the upper right background. There are some other scattered surface abrasions, most likely original.
