Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is window matted and taped along the top edge to the backing board. The top, right and bottom edges are deckled. There is pale time staining to the sheet and light wear to the edges. There is a slight undulation to the sheet due to the artistÂ’s choice of medium and a few soft smudges are evident in the lower right quadrant. Framed under Plexiglas.
