Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet which is inherent to the artist's working method and chosen medium. The sheet is lightly time-stained. Under close inspection, there is very minor evidence of wear and handling to the edges most notably to the right edge 9 inches from bottom right where a pinpoint loss to paper with an associated very minor tear is visible. Under further close inspection there are two approximately 1/4 inch losses to the sheet along the central vertical axis that are likely from the time of execution. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
