Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the mount along the edges. Some faint media stains and a pencil inscription in another hand are visible around the perimeter of the sheet when work is unframed. Apart from two faint flattened creases running parallel to the lower and right edges which are not visible when and some light time-darkening, this work is in excellent original condition.
