Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There are multiple artist's pinholes in all four corners. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet has discolored slightly with age, particularly along the edges. The lower right corner has detached, and is securely adhered in place. There is a vertical crease that starts 1-inch from the right edge and extends the entire length of the sheet. There are 2 small tears along the right edge. There are scattered pinpoint media and spot accretions, visible upon close inspection. The colors are bright and fresh. There is evidence of light graphite smudging. The sheet is hinged verso at the upper right and left corners to the matte. Framed under glass.
