Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of handling and wear to the edges of each sheet, most notable along the right edge of the left sheet, where there is evidence of adhesive residue, likely from when the paper was laid down to the canvas. On the right sheet scattered 1/16 inch long tears are visible along the bottom edge. There are two pinpoint white media accretions visible on the right sheet, 6 inches from the left side of the center axis and 2 inches from the top edge in the upper right quadrant. Framed under glass.
