Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The sheet has been laid down to the mat. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable. A backing applied to the reverse of the sheet is visible around the extreme edges of the sheet. Under raking light inspection, a few scattered pinpoint spots of foxing become apparent throughout the sheet, most visibly in the areas of blue pigment. A few minor scattered pinpoint surface accretions also become apparent in both lower quadrants of the work.
