Condition
Work is in excellent condition. Pigments remain bright and fresh. Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is hinged to the mount at a couple of points along the upper edge. Remnants of old framers tape are visible along upper edge of verso. The edges of the sheet are slightly irregular and very lightly scuffed along the extreme perimeter. There is a small faint flattened crease in each of the upper corners and another vertical one running parallel to the center right edge. A close inspection reveals a couple of very thin diagonal surface scratches just above the center of the composition which are barely visible to the naked eye.
