Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There are pinholes at the four corners and along the top and bottom edge, and there is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artists working method. The upper right corner and two bottom corners of the sheet are torn due to the multiple pinholes. There is another 1/4 inch tear at the top left edge of the sheet. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the edges. Framed under glass.
