Condition

Executed on red-colored wove paper which has been affixed to a board mount with adhesive around the perimeter of its verso. The sheet is slightly undulating. The edges are deckled and two minor losses along the center and lower extreme left edge. Several artist pinholes are visible at each corner as well as a couple along the center top edge. The medium remains fresh and vibrant though some faint matte staining is apparent toward the extreme outer margins. Otherwise fine. Overall the work is in good condition.
