Acquired by the present owner from the above

This work is in very good condition overall. There are artist’s pinholes at the corners and sides. There is a small flattened crease across the extreme tip of the upper left corner. There is slight undulation to the sheet, consistent with the artist's use of medium. There is evidence of fine craquelure scattered in the black central section. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
