Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The work is slightly faded. The marker has bled into the paper in places creating a slightly blurred effect, most noticeably around the blue lines. There is an artist's pinhole along the top edge. The sheet is hinged to the matte at the top two corners. Framed under glass.
