Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, floating in the mount, fixed at two points along the upper edge. The left edge is deckled. There are media marks and smudges (inherent to the artist's process), some time-staining to the sheet and scattered spots of foxing. There is a flattened crease in the lower left corner and some creasing and discoloration to the upper edge resulting from a previous mount. Otherwise this work is in good condition.
