Condition
Executed on off-white laid paper, not laid down. The sheet is taped to the overmount at the upper edge. There are 15 artist's pinholes. There is a tiny tear in the middle of the right edge and another one nearby the lower left corner. There are remnants of glue in the lower right corner possibly due to the previous mounting. There are some flattened creases along the lower edge and some oiydation spots in the grey pigments of the composition. Apart from a slight waviness inherent to the artist's process, this work is in good condition.
