The work is further mounted behind plexiglass and original artist's frame with original textured liner affixed to the outer edges of the plexi. Repaired artist's pinholes are visible to all four corners of the sheet, possibly done by the artist. There are scattered studio stains and the sheet is slightly dirty and time stained.
