Condition
Executed on buff wove paper, laid down on card, suspended in the mount with four rectangular panels and floating in the mount. All four edges are unevenly cut. There are two artist's pin holes two each of the two upper corners and the sheet is slightly undulating. Otherwise this work appears to be in very good overall condition.
