Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is T-hinged to the mount at the top two corners. The lower edge is irregular, possibly inherent to the artistic process. There is a 4cm long sinuous repaired tear in the lower left corner as well as two small repaired tears along the lower edge. Apart from some media marks towards the centre of the lower edge, visible in the catalogue illustration, and some time-staining, this work is in fairly good condition.
