Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, the edges remain visible when framed. There are three artist's pinholes in the upper corners and two in the lower corners. There are various flattened creases around the internal frame and the figure on the left. There appear to be relatively minor restorations in the paint layer, especially the figure's left foot and right elbow. Overall this work is in good condition.
