Cette œuvre est vendue encadrée. Un papier kraft de bordage court le long des bords. Le papier a très légèrement jauni. La toile et la feuille présentent une très légère ondulation dans les angles. La surface est légèrement poussiéreuse. Les traces de pliure visibles par endroits sont inhérentes au support choisi par l'artiste. Présence d'un réseau de craquelure du papier au centre dans la partie inférieure. Présence de quelques petits points d'accrétion le long du bord supérieur vers la partie droite ainsi que de petits points de piqûre par endroits le long des bords. Une très légère trace de frottement associée à une très légère cassure du papier est visible vers l'angle inférieur droit. Un minuscule trou est visible le long du bord gauche dans la partie supérieure. De très légères zones d'écaillage sont dans quelques empâtements d'encre dans la partie centrale de la composition et uniquement visibles en lumière rasante. Sous réserve de ce qui précède, selon notre opinion, l’œuvre est en bon état général de conservation.
This work is sold framed. A kraft framing paper runs along the edges. The paper has very slightly yellowed. The canvas and the sheet undulate very slightly to the corners. The surface is slightly dusty. The folding marks visible in places are inherent to the map chosen by the artist. There is a net of paper cracks to the lower center. There are a few small pinpoint accretions along the upper edge to the right part as well as small spots of foxing in places along the edges. Minor rubbing associated to a very slight paper crease is visible towards the lower right corner. A minor hole is visible along the left edge to the upper part. Very slight flaking areas are in a few ink impastos to the center part of the composition, only visible under racking light. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in overall good condition.
