Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is time staining to the sheet, more pronounced near the edges. There is discoloration intermittently at the boarders and corners due to a previous adhesive tape applied to the paper, which is not visible when matted. There is a minor, very soft, diagonal crease in the lower left corner, also only visible when unframed. The sheet is cornered into the backing board and window matted. Framed under Plexiglas.
