Condition

This work is in excellent condition overall. The sheet is hinged along the top edge verso to the mat and window matted. The edges of the sheet are deckled and there are scattered artist's pinholes. There is evidence of a light undulation to the sheet. The irregular surface texture and pigment application are consistent with the artist's choice of medium and working method. Under close inspection, there are a few, very minor pinpoint surface accretions. Framed under glass.
