Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet has discolored slightly with age. Under very close inspection some extremely faint adhesive residue is visible in scattered areas on the surface of the paper, inherent to the artist’s method of production. There is a small puncture hole at the upper edge, 11½ inches from the left side. The right turning edge of the board has a slightly uneven surface texture. Framed under Plexiglas.
