Condition
This work is in excellent condition. Executed on two sheets of thick cream wove paper that are glued together along the top edges so that the top sheet can be lifted revealing a multi-layered effect. The lower sheet is hinged to a mat at upper corners on the verso. The edges of the top sheet appear to have been cut. There is some minor surface dirt and staining, especially along the bottom edge and some scattered studio stains along the verso of each sheet. In the composition, areas of visible sheet appear fresh and the medium is very well preserved.
