Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, floating in the mount, fixed at two points along the upper edge. The right edge is deckled. There are media marks and smudges (inherent to the artist's process) and some time-staining to the sheet. Apart from a 1.5cm diagonal repaired tear in the upper left corner and some faint flattened creases, this work is in very good condition.
