Condition
Overall the work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to a mat at multiple points on the verso. All four edges of the sheet are deckled, and there is some staining along the extreme edges of the perimeter, possibly from a prior matting. The sheet is slightly time-darkened overall. The lower right corner of the sheet shows some discoloration around the extreme corner. There are a few pin-point instances of foxing, which are minor and barely visible. Framed.
