Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The work is executed on the verso of a printed sheet. The uppoer, lower and left edge is unevenly torn with associated tiny losses and creases.. There are a few scattered creases to the sheet: the most prominent are three horizontal creases to the left edge. There is some very slight undulation to the upper third of the sheet, inherent to the drying process. There is some very minor, and barely visible, craquelure to the most densely painted areas. There is some light studio dirt in the lower left quadrant. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
