Condition
The work is in very good condition. Executed on buff-colored paper. The sheet is hinged to a mount at four places along the perimeter of the top and right edge of the verso. The sheet is just a little time-darkened. There is extremely faint staining at the affixed corners, noticeable at top right and likely related to a previous mounting. There is a slight quarter-inch tear along the extreme top left edge.
