Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount intermittently along all four edges, floating in the mount. The sheet is slightly time stained. There is possibly a minor repaired tear to the upper right corner and there is some mount staining visible to the edges. There is a minor crease towards the lower left edge and some minor undulation to the upper and lower left corners due to the affixing process. There is a window to the back of the frame showing the Nachlass mark. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
