Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The top edge is deckled and there is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. The edges of the sheet have darkened very slightly from age and handling. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
