Condition
Overall the work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged on the reverse to a backing board. The colors are bright. The artist's pinholes are visible at all four corners of the sheet and there are some associated losses to the extreme corners (lower right, for example). There is a thin line of adhesive tracing the perimeter of the sheet on the reverse, which is somewhat visible on the recto. There are some minor losses to extreme edges of the sheet, possibly from prior frame abrasion. Framed under Plexiglas.
