Condition

Window mounted. There is a square shaped area surrounding the main part of the composition where it is likely that a mount has previously been placed. This has resulted in the aforementioned area appearing somewhat discolored. There is a square shaped brown stain in the upper right corner of the sheet, which corresponds directly with a piece of adhesive tape attached to the verso. There is minor surface dirt throughout the sheet. Otherwise in good condition; the medium is fresh and vibrant.
