Condition
Work is in very good condition. Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the mount along the edges. Lower and right edges are slightly irregular. There is an artist's pinhole in three of the four corners. The sheet is lightly time-darkened. A close inspection reveals a tiny restored nick and a faint flattened crease toward the upper left corner which are barely visible to the naked eye.
