Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are smudges in the margins which are inherent to the artist's working method. There is a ½ inch fine surface abrasion located approximately 1/8 inch from the left edge of the image and a ½ inch from the bottom edge. Additionally there are a few scattered circular spots within the mouth of the shark where it appears water has touched the ink and which are presumably inherent to the artist's working method. Hinged verso to the matte at the top two corners and framed under Plexiglas.
