Condition
The edges of the paper are deckled and the paper is taped to the mat from the reverse on two spot along the upper edge. The paper shows some rippling, consistent with the artist's technique and use of medium. There is a small loss in the blue section, 5 in. from the upper edges. There are three white specks in the lower part of the lower left quadrant. Some of the blue areas present some darkening of the pigment—perhaps staining. This is also present in come parts of the light pink areas. Overall the work appears to be in very good condition.
