Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the mount along the edges. The upper edge is slightly irregular. A close inspection reveals a few flattened creases in the lower left and right corners and two small spots of surface abrasion to the legs of the lower left figure. Apart from some light time-staining and some minor frame abrasion, notably along the upper edges (not visible when framed), this work is in good condition.
