Condition
This work is in very good condition. The pigments are bright and fresh. Executed on white wove paper, laid down on canvas. The edges are taped along the perimeter. The sheet shows very little light discoloration. There is some shirnkage visible in the thickest areas of dark blue pigment which has resulted in some very small dots of surface paint loss around the tree. Otherwise, fine.
