Condition
Executed on cream paper, which has not been laid down. The top and left edges have been cut, the right and lower edges are deckled. There is a minor tear to the lower right corner, no longer than 1/8 in. There is a wave to the lower edge. There is a faint horizontal line running along the entire width of the sheet, approx. 1/4 in. up from the lower edge, which is probably the result of a crease that has been flattened. This is barely visible. The pigment is fresh and strong. This work is in very good condition.
