Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, and the various smudges throughout are inherent to the artist's working method. There is evidence of light handling and wear along the edges, including a small ΒΌ in. tear along the left edge across from the figure's proper left elbow region. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat in all four corners. Framed under Plexiglas.
