Condition
This work is in excellent condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in multiple locations. The side edges are lightly deckled and the top and bottom edges are unevenly cut, which is likely inherent to the artist’s working method. There is evidence of a soft undulation to the sheet. There is a minor 3 ½ inch diagonal tear in the lower right corner that has been repaired, likely by the hand of the artist. Framed under glass.
