Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is affixed to the mount at intermittent points along the perimeter of the verso and is floating in its mount. The edges are deckled with very minor handling marks and creases, particularly in the upper left corner. The sheet is time-stained, particularly around the edges, and gently undulating. A few spots of foxing and scattered studio stains in places. A small paper loss in the upper right corner, possibly original. This work is in overall very good condition.
