Condition

Executed on cream colored wove paper, hinged to a mount at several places on verso along the top edge. Top, left and right edges are deckled. There are a few tiny nicks to the edge of the sheet around the extreme perimeter and a 1 1/2 inch vertical crease at the lower left corner. There are a few scattered studio stains on the verso of the sheet and a few pencil notations on the verso. In addition there is an indistinct inscription in another hand at lower left corner that appears to be a name, although it is difficult to discern. This work is in very good condition.
