Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of age and light handling, particularly toward the edges and corners, which have soft creases. There is a very minor loss and tear in the upper left corner. There are some very minor pinpoint spots of paint loss toward the edges, which are visible under close inspection. The linear vectors in the paper appear to be done by the artist's hand and are inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the top and side edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
