Condition
Executed on black wove paper, not laid down and hinged to the overmount in two places along the upper edge. The upper and right edges are unevenly cut and the lower edge is deckled. There is some tape remnants along the lower edge from previous mounting and a couple of very minor paper scuffs to the left and right edges, none of which are visible when framed. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition.
