Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The top and bottom edges are deckled, and there is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. The scattered graphite smudges appear to be from the hand of the artist. There are some minor creases at the corners and at the bottom of the sheet and a 3 inch linear repaired tear at the bottom of the paper. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under glass.
