Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. This work is recto-verso and is presented floating between two panes of glass. The upper edge of the recto (the lower edge of the verso) indicates that the sheet comes from a spiral-bound sketchbook. The lower corners are slightly scuffed, with visible tiny flattened creases to the extreme edges. There a few scattered spots of foxing notably on the lower left corner of the recto and scattered in the lower left quadrant of the verso. Aside from some minor media marks inherent to the artistic process, this work is in very good original condition.
