Condition
Executed on thick cream laid paper, not laid down. The sheet is floating in the mount and there is an 'Arches' watermark visible in the lower right corner. The lower and right edges are irregular. There are some media marks on the reverse which appear to be inherent to the artistic process. Apart from some light time-staining, this work is in excellent original condition.
