Condition
Not laid down, the sheet is hinged to the mount at the upper left and upper right corners. The sheet is evenly time stained apart from the extreme edges which a mat appears to have covered in the past. There are four small tears at the upper and right edges which are just faintly visible through the mat, and some staining parallel to the upper edge (visible in the catalogue illustration); otherwise, the work is overall in good condition. Framed and glazed, the edges of the sheet covered by the mat are not visible framed.
