Condition
Executed on cream wove paper with a Hôtel Cap d'Antibes letterhead. The sheet is affixed to the mount at intermittent points along the perimeter of the verso. The sheet is lightly time-stained and there are a few scattered faint spots of foxing. The sheet was folded in half at one point and there is a faint flattened crease running horizontally across the centre of the composition. The work is in very good overall condition.
