Condition
In fairly good condition. The hand-made paper is extremely fibrous and these fibers are visible to the naked eye. Some of them have darkened over time. A small border of tape around the sheet shows some time-darkening. The lower-right corner of sheet was cut unevenly. The work is laid down on an acid-free mount and appears to be stable in its present presentation. Some of the white heightening appears somewhat mottled, but this is due to the fibrous quality of the support. The medium is fresh.
