Condition
Executed on black wove paper. The edges of the sheet have remnants of prior mounting but the current sheet is t-hinged to a mat at the upper corner on the verso. The sheet is somewhat undulating throughout as a result of the thickly applied medium. There appear to be some scattered losses and restorations to the original sand, particularly in the right half, however the work is generally in very good condition.
