Condition

Executed on buff colored wove paper. Hinged to a mount at three places along the top edge on verso. Edges are deckled. The sheet is slightly time darkened, although the medium is bright and fresh. There is tape on perimeter on the verso of the sheet from a prior mounting and a mat stain around the extreme perimeter of the sheet. On the top and bottom edges the mat stain is around two inches in width and around half an inch at the left and right edges. There is a loss to the sheet near the lower left corner on the left edge, although this is not visible when framed. Overall this work is in good condition.
