Condition

Executed on grey laid paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the mount along the edges. The upper edge is slightly irregular and the tips of the upper corners are missing. There are artist's pinholes in the upper corners. A close inspection reveals a tiny horizontal repaired tear along the lower part of the left edge. Apart from some light time-staining, mostly along the edges, this work is in very good condition.
