Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The edges are secured with Japanese paper to the reverse. There are artist's pinholes to the top two corners. There is a 0.5cm repaired tear to the right of the centre on the lower edge, and a pinhead-sized paper infill towards the upper left corner and a speck of paper infill towards the right of the upper edge, probably to cover artist pinholes. Apart from scattered very light foxing to the lower edge and upper centre, this work is in very good condition.
