Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse to the backing board. There is a soft undulation to the sheet, and the edges of the sheet are slightly deckled and unenvely cut, all due to the artist's choice of medium and working method. There is pale time staining to the sheet and some very minor surface soiling to the extreme edges of the sheet, only viewable under close inspection. Framed under Plexiglas.
