Condition
Executed on cream coloured wove paper. There is a horizontal crease bisecting the sheet where it had been folded in the past (possibly near-contemporary to the work's execution). There is a horizontal repair to the paper (measuring approximately 1/2 in. in length) towards the bottom of the right edge. There are a series of diagonal creases to the upper left corner and a further longer crease to the upper left corner, running almost parallel to the top edge. A further crease running almost parallel to the lower edge, and across the lower left corner. There is various scattered studio surface dirt and some handling marks to the edges. The medium is fresh and strong, the work is in good condition.
