A rectangular indentation at the lower right corner due to a gallery label on the verso pressing through. A slight undulation to the sheet overall. Two small abrasions, one at upper right corner and another at center. A few scattered surface scuffs visible under raking light throughout the sheet. The verso in generally good condition. Mat- and time-stain, with two small damp-stains at the upper right sheet edge. Stray ink and surface soiling scattered throughout. A pencil inscription '4048 B' at upper right corner. The Marlborough Galleria d'Arte label adhered directly to the verso. This print is framed under Plexiglas.
