Condition
The board is sound and affixed to a foam mount at two places on the top edge of its reverse as well as affixed with tape in a square window within the foam mount around the center of the reverse. The top and bottom right edges of the board are inherently uneven. The colors are vibrant and there is some very minor smudging to the medium as well as some faint crease lines toward upper center and upper right. The reverse is variously painted and features remnants of adhesive from a previous mounting around the outer edges. The work is in good condition.
