Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged along the edges to the backing board. There is minor undulation to the sheet, possibly due to hinging. The vertical edges of the sheet are deckled. There are artist's pinholes in the upper corners of the sheet. There is faint smudging to the sheet and some faint fraying to the surface of the paper in areas of the graphite passage, inherent to the artist's working method, visible upon close inspection. There is a faint pinpoint accretion to the upper edge of the sheet. There is scattered foxing to the lower edge of the sheet, visible upon close inspection. Framed under Plexiglas.
