Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The bottom edge is deckled and there are scattered graphite smudges, which appear to be inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet is irregularly creased in spots. The upper right corner of the sheet is torn and the sheet appears to have discolored slightly along the right edge. There are some scattered accretions, including a spherical mark at the bottom left, visible in the catalogue illustration. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
