This work on Arches paper is in good condition overall. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable. The sheet has been mounted to a foamcore backing. The sheet presents deckling along the extreme upper and lower edges, and presents minor wear along all extreme edges. At the extreme lower left corner, a white fingerprint is present which may be inherent.
