Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse to the backing board. The left and right edges of the sheet are deckled due to the artist's chosen materials. There are artist pinholes to the top center edge and scattered paint brush hair accretions due to the artist's working method. There are scattered water accretions visible to the surface, likely from the time of execution. Under very close inspection and with raking light, there are a few scattered areas of minor pigment craquelure visible with some very minor associated pigment losses. Framed under Plexiglas.
