Condition
The paper is attached to the mat from the reverse on all four corners. The edges of the paper are deckled and there is a very small tear, 1 in. from the lower left corner. There is some foxing to the paper—but very little. There some rippling throughout the paper due to the medium. There are 2 pinholes on the figure's crown on the upper center. Overall, the work is in good condition.
