Condition

Executed on buff-colored wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the mount at various points along the edges. A close inspection reveals a faint flattened crease running diagonally across the window from towards the center of the left edge. Otherwise, apart from two small restored tears to the lower edge and two to the left edge which are barely visible when framed, this work is in good conditon.
