Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse intermittently to the backing board. The sheet is deckled at the bottom edge. There are several artist’s pinholes scattered along the edges and corners. There are signs of minor wear and handling throughout. Along the deckled edge, there are areas of varying paint application consistent with the artist's chosen medium. Under close inspection, there is slight undulation to the sheet throughout and some areas of minor stray medium. There are some pinpoint areas of pigment loss at the lower left corner, lower-middle left edge and lower right quadrant on the tree. Framed under Plexiglas.
