Condition
The frame is in excellent condition and bears an inscription in Juliet Man Ray's hand on the reverse. The sheet shows signs of some light time-staining. A close inspection reveals three faint flattened creases, a small spot of surface abrasion in the lower left corner and a small tear to the lower right edge of the sheet which appear to be inherent to the artistic process. This work is in overall very good condition.
