Condition

This work is in very good overall condition. There are artist pinholes at the four corners and the top and bottom edges are deckled. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There is a 9 inch band of discoloration to the paper located 13 inches from the bottom edge to the immediate right of the red passage. Additionally, there are impressed lines in the sheet extending diagonally across the sheet, 13 inches from the bottom edges, which are presumably inherent to the artist's working method. Hinged verso intermittently along the edges to the backing board and framed under Plexiglas.
