Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is light wear and handling to the edges of the sheet, particularly creasing along the upper portion of the right edge. There is a ½ by ¾ inch accretion in the lower left corner, which appears to be the result of a former hinge. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte on the top corners. Framed under Plexiglas.
