Condition
This work is in excellent condition. Executed on cream wove paper. The sheet is taped to a window matte along all four edges of the verso. The medium is very bright and fresh. There are traces of old tape on the verso, probably to support areas where the paper is thin. The edges are uneven with some associated scuffs and minor nicks. There has been some rubbing and abrasion to the recto of the sheet, inherent to the artist's process.
