Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board intermittently along the edges. The lateral edges slightly curl outwards due to the hinges of the sheet. There are also light creases along the lower edge and corners, most noticeable in the lower left corner, likely inherent to the artist's working method. Framed under Plexiglas.
