Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is hinged to the mount at two points along the verso of the upper edge. The edges are deckled and slighlty uneven with small nicks along the perimeter. There are remnants of old framers tape visible along the verso of the perimeter. The sheet is time-darkened with a thin old mat stain. There is an artist's pinhole in the lower right corner. There are two tiny sinuous tears to the sheet: just above the inscription at lower right and in the lower left corner above the dancer's foot (barely visible from the recto). Otherwise, fine. This work is in overall good condition.
