Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are artist pinholes at the four corners. The right edge of the sheet is irregularly torn on the right side, which appears inherent to the artist's working method. The top edge of the sheet underneath the matte has some slight matte burn, and the overall colors appear slightly faded. The sheet is hinged recto along the top edge and framed under glass.
