Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the overmount at all four corners. The left and upper edges are deckled. There are three artist's pinholes to the lower left and upper two corners (visible in the catalogue illustration). There are three tape remnants at intervals along the upper edge of the verso and four further tape remnants to all four corners of the verso, all due to previous mounting. Apart from some very minor spots of foxing to the verso and some light undulation to the sheet, intrinsic to the artist's process, this work is in good condition.
