Condition
Executed on cream wove paper which is loose though there are remnants of adhesive at the corners of the recto from a previous mounting. The sheet is also very slightly time-darkened and mat-stained as zell as a little dirty. There are also a couple nicks toward the bottom left corner and a 1/4-inch repair toward the bottom right edge. Water marks are visible along the left edge with a stamp at the lower left corner of the verso. The work is in very good condition.
