This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet has yellowed slightly with age and has discolored slightly, particularly in the lower left corner. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges including some very minor creases at the lower corners. There are pinpoint losses to the pigment along the bottom edge and the pigment is lifting on the top left corner. There is a very minor tear at the top left corner, an approximately ½-inch paper loss at the top left corner possibly from the time of execution, and an approximately 1-inch crease to the sheet on the left edge just below center. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
