Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. Under close inspection, there is evidence of handling and wear to the edges, including soft creases at the corners. Under further close inspection, very faint surface soiling is visible along the right side and there are a few faint, scattered spot accretions visible along the lower horizontal quarter of the sheet. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently at the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
