Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The top and right edges of the sheet are deckled. Close inspection reveals scattered graphite smudges and an extremely faint localized area of pencil-line indentations on the face, both likely inherent to the artistÂ’s working method. The sheet is hinged verso to the top matte along the upper edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
