This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There is an accretion on the bottom right edge, possibly from an old matte and a pinpoint media accretion at the upper right corner. There is a small surface abrasion at the bottom center and one small spot of paint loss on the red paint on the sun. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the edges. Framed under glass.
