Condition
This work in good condition overall. The sheet is hinged to the backing board in multiple places. The edges of the sheet are deckled. There is light surface soiling throughout. There are some areas of minor pigment loss and flaking, mostly in the yellow areas in the lower center and right of the composition. There are also a few instances of an abrasion to the uppermost layer of the sheet, but not a through tear. This may be due to the artist's working method. There are artist's pin holes in the top 2 corners. Framed under Plexiglas.
