Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on the artist's mount. Examination under UV light reveals an area of fluorescence (approx. 7 cm wide) to the upper right quadrant and some additional small dots and lines of fluorescence which relate to the nature of the pigment. There are some paper and glue remnants with associated paper skinning along the extreme edges of the mount, as well as on the reverse, from a previous mounting. There is some light staining to the mount. The left upper and right edges of the sheet are slightly deckled. The sheet is slightly undulating along the right edge. This work is in very good condition.
