(i) Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a light undulation to the sheet, which is securely hinged to the backing board in several places on the reverse. There are tiny artist pinholes in each corner tip and the right edge of the sheet is deckled. There are scattered minute blue specks in the lower right corner and a small smudge to the right of the figure's lower hand, both of which appear to be original to the work's execution.
