Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There are artist pinholes in all 4 corners and a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet exhibits some light discoloration from the oil paint. It appears that the top layer of the paper at the top center of the sheet has ripped slightly. There is some unobtrusive craquelure in the black paint right of center and below center. There is also a minor spot of craquelure in the yellow band at the top and in the white paint in the lower left quadrant. This work is unframed.
