Condition

The paper is hinged to the mat on two areas on the upper margin. The upper left corner has torn off. There is a vertical crease across the center of the paper—most likely old and from the artist's own doing when handling this work as it is a study for a mural. There are also multiple creases that have been flattened, also most likely from the artist's own handling of the paper.
