Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. Under very close inspection, an extremely faint and unobtrusive dark abrasion is visible 20 ¾ inches from the left side and 9 ¾ inches from the top edge. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
