Condition
Executed on pale grey laid paper, laid down on the backing cardboard. The upper and lower edges are slightly uneven. There is a thin line of time staining around the edges and two traces of tape on the upper edge (not visible when framed). Apart from some handling smudges and media marks inherent to the artists process, this work is in overall very good condition.
