Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge with tape (resulting in two faint marks to the recto) and floating in the mount. All four edges are deckled. There is some slight discolouration along all four edges due to previous mounting and a tiny paper loss to the lower right corner. The sheet is undulating and there are some fine flattened creases along all four edges. This work is in overall good condition.
