Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged intermittently on the reverse to the backing board and window-matted. The top, left and bottom edges of the sheet are irregularly torn and there is an artist's pinhole on the right edge, only visible below the window mat. There is evidence of pale time staining and minor rubbing to the sheet. There are a few very minor pinpoint areas of foxing and there are faint surface abrasions due to the hinges. Framed under Plexiglas.
