This work is in very good condition overall. The left edge of the sheet is deckled. There are artist pinholes in the upper corners and there is a soft undulation to the sheet. Under close inspection, there is evidence of light handling and wear to the upper corners, including soft creases. There are pinpoint drying bubbles visible in the green painted areas as well embedded stray bristles, inherent to the artist’s working method and chosen medium. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat along the top edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
