This work is in good condition overall. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable. Artist pinholes are present in each of the four corners of the sheet. Very faint horizontal crease marks are present at 2-inch intervals throughout the work. The edges of the sheet are deckled, which is inherent to the support selected by the artist.
