Print presents well with vibrant colors. Work is laid to a backing sheet. The condition of the work is consistent with its age. Mild toning throughout the sheet, inked colors still appear fresh. A few mild accretions primarily evident along left edge, on the figure's arms, and next to the artist's signature. A wormhole (1/2" x 1/2") in the figure's hairpiece, another small (1/8") wormhole in upper left quadrant; neither repaired; a pinhole in the lower right corner. Unframed.
