Under close inspection, a minor crease on the top right corner and scattered, brown pinpoint accretions are visible throughout the sheet. Under very close inspection and visible in raking light, there is a faint and unobtrusive scratch to the paper towards the right top edge and a minute nick approximately 2 ½ inches from the left corner edge and ¼ inch down from the top edge. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat along all four edges in numerous places. Framed under glass.
