Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There are pinholes in the corners of each sheet and a slight undulation to the sheets. There are some scattered hairline scratches to the oil, which appear to be intended by the artist and inherent to the artist's working method. Each sheet is hinged verso intermittently along the edges to the other sheets and to the museum board. Framed under glass.
