The edges of the sheet are uneven and scuffed with some dark staining (not visible when framed). There are some media marks, notably smudges in the upper and lower right corners (inherent to the artistic process) and scattered foxing with considerable oxidation spots visible on the reverse of the sheet. Otherwise this work remains in good condition.
