Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a soft rippling to the paper in the central field and scattered areas of creases, small tears, smudging and adhesive accretion, all presumably related to the artist's working method. There are four unobtrusive, pin-point losses in the orange field, located 1 inch in from the left and 19 ½ from the bottom edge; 1 ½ inches in from the right; lower left corner and 7 ¾ inches in from the left and 7 ¾ inches up from the bottom. Not examined out of the frame. Framed under glass in a gold wood frame.
