Condition Report:
This work is in very good condition overall. The edges of the sheet are deckled and the sheet undulates slightly. There are artist's pinholes to all four corner tips. Under extremely close inspection in raking light there is some irregularities to the paint in the upper half of the composition, which appear to be inherent and in keeping with the artist's working process. Further extremely close inspection reveals a minute accretion, brown in color, to the center of the lower white margin. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board along all four edges. Framed under glass.
