Condition Report:
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged at the corners of the reverse to the backing board. The bottom edge of the sheet is deckled. There are tonal and textural variations to the surface, inherent to the artist's working method and chosen media. There is a slight overall discoloration and undulation to the sheet, consistent with the age of the work. There is some minor evidence of handling at the extreme edges and corners, visible upon close inspection. There is a very faint scuff to the surface in the upper left quadrant, visible upon close inspection. Please note this work has not been examined out of its frame. Framed under Plexiglas.
