Condition
Executed on thin cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge. Lower and upper edges are deckled. The sheet is undulating notably along the edges, consistent with the artist's materials used. There are pinholes to each corner and at the center of lower, right and left edges. There is some faint mount staining (not visible when framed) and the sheet is slightly time-stained. This work is in overall good condition.
