Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. There is evidence of foxing visible in the unpainted areas of the sheet. Under very close inspection, some minor and unobtrusive surface abrasions are visible and some vertical creases are visible along the top edge, mostly in the upper right and left corners. The sheet is hinged verso intermittently along the edges of the matte. Framed under Plexiglas.
