Condition
Executed on buff-colored wove paper. The sheet is laid down onto another sheet which is adhered to the mount. The left edge appears to be cropped, cutting off the beginning of the artist's signature. The signature is therefore extended onto the lower sheet likely by another hand. The sheet is overall time-darkened and mat stained around the top, bottom and right edges. There is scattered foxing as well as a few minor tears to the mount which in no way affect the work itself. This work is in overall good condition.
