Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and attached to the mount at all four corners and also at the centre of each edge, and floating in the overmount. The sheet is slightly timestained and there is a very fine crease along the left part of the lower edge which is well away from the Nachlass stamp. There is a handling mark to the centre of the extreme edge, possibly the artist's own fingerprint. Overall this work is in very good condition.
