Condition

Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, floating in the mount. The edges of the sheet are uneven with artist's pinholes in the corners. There are media marks on the reverse, inherent to the artistic process, and one tiny pinhole loss towards the upper left corner. Apart from some light time-staining and subtle waviness, this work is in very good original condition.
