Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the over-mount at four points along the edge. The sheet was embossed by the artist, creating a relief that is visible on the reverse of the sheet. There is a slight waviness to the sheet, inherent to the artistic process, and some reddish splashes, possibly also inherent to the artistic process. Apart from some time-staining and some faint flattened creases along the lower edge, this work is in very good original condition.
