Condition
Executed on a thin cream wove paper sheet, laid down to the mount by the artist. There are some remnants of glue in the lower part of the composition. Apart from some flattened creases throughout the sheet, especially along the edges, due to the laying down, all visible in the catalogue illustration, this work is in stable original condition.
