Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges including a pinpoint loss to the paper approximately 1-inch above the center of the left edge. There is a slight undulation to the sheet and a fiber stuck to the paper on the bottom right corner. All smudges and graphite marks appear to be from the time of execution and inherent to the artists working method. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the top edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
