Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount at the upper two corners and floating in the mount. All four edges are deckled. There is a flattened vertical fold down the centre of the sheet, probably inherent to the sheet when the artist started working on it. This work is in overall very good condition.
