Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There are scattered soft creases along the edges, which have yellowed slightly with age, including a very minor partial tear at the upper left corner and a partially diagonal crease along the bottom edge. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. Under very close inspection there is some smudging evident along the upper right edge of the sheet and some scattered pinpoint media accretions all of which appear to be from the time of execution and inherent to the artist’s working method. There is a repaired tear approximately 1-inch in length located in the center of the right edge. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the top and lateral edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
