Condition
Pinholes are present on all four-corners. Rippling is visible throughout the paper. Mounting-tape stains are visible along all four-edges. Two tears are present on the left-edge, approximately one-inch and half-an-inch in length respectively. The colors are vibrant and stable. Various inscriptions in graphite, more than likely by the artist, are present throughout the composition ("oro", "azul", "verde"). Overall, this work is in excellent condition.
