Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. Under very close inspection, pinpoint white media accretions are visible in the upper black edge just left of center and just below center, likely from the time of execution. Framed under Plexiglas.
