Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse to the mat, intermittently along the edges. There are artist pinholes at the 4 corners and there is a slight undulation to the sheet, which is inherent to the artist's working method. There is evidence of very faint oil residue to the paper around the pigment, due to the artist's choice of medium. There is a 1/4 inch tear in the top right quadrant, perhaps the result of a minor puncture, and there are some scattered media accretions on the right side of the sheet. Framed under Plexiglas.
