Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of some yellowing around the edges of the sheet. There are several non-obtrusive creases in the bottom left corner of the sheet which are only visible when the work is unframed. There are stray media accretions scatted across the composition which are inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet is hinged verso to the front matte and framed under Plexiglas.
