Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The sheet has slightly yellowed with age, particularly around the edges. There are scattered extremely light pinpoint spots of foxing to the sheet as well as a few areas around the lateral edges of the sheet which appear to be evidence of mild water exposure. The sheet exhibits a few light handling creases and there is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. The work is floating in the frame and framed under glass.
