Condition

This work is in very good and original condition. The sheet is attached verso to foarm-cor on the reverse. There is an artist's pinhole to the centre of the upper edge. The left edge is slightly deckled. Very close inspection reveals some very minor creases to the extreme corner tips. All other surface irregularities are in keeping with the artist's choice of medium.
