Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The sheet is pinned to the board at the turning edges. There is light surface soiling throughout. There is scattered soft creasing and minor rippling to the sheet. There is some wear at the corners and a slight tear to the sheet at the bottom left and right turning edges. The seams of the sheets are vaguely evident, due to the artist's working method and choice of medium. There are some horizontal parallel linear accretions in the upper left near the top and some fine parallel scratches in the center of the composition. Unframed.
