Condition
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing board in two places on the upper edge. Very close inspection reveals extremely light and unobtrusive glue residue along the left edge of the work, where the sheet of paper was originally attached to a notebook. There is a light handling crease to the upper left corner tip.
