Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is window mounted and hinged in the top corners to a sheet of paper that is mounted to the mat board. Under close inspection, there is very minor undulation to the sheet. There are light smudges and marks in the margins, mostly obscured by the mat and likely inherent. Also obscured by the mat, there are minor tears to the extreme edges of the sheet where it was previously taped. Framed under Plexiglas.
