Condition

This work is in excellent condition overall. The sheet is window matted and hinged on the reverse to the mat along the top edge. The top edge of the sheet is perforated. There are scattered areas of uneven texture due to very small air bubbles in the white pigment, due to the artistÂ’s choice of medium and working method. Framed under Plexiglas.
