Condition
Please note that the certificate for this work has been lost, but that the authenticity has been verbally confirmed by Wanda de Guébriant.
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount at the upper two corners, and floating in the overmount. The upper and right edges are deckled, and the left edge is slightly unevenly torn in places, with associated tiny nicks. There is some extremely pale discolouration to parts of the extreme left edge, and a tiny 2mm-long vertical tear to the right part of upper edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
