This work is in very good condition overall. There is minor evidence of handling and wear to the sheet including a small tear along the top edge, approximately 2 ½ inches from the left corner. The sheet has discolored slightly with age, most notably along the top and bottom extreme edges. Under close inspection, there is a small area of skinning and resultant exposed paper within the black stroke of paint along the right edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
