Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount at the upper two corners and floating in the mount. All four edges are deckled. The sheet is very lightly time stained. There are handling marks to the sheet around the edges, probably predominantly studio, and some very faint foxing marks also around the edges. There are some paper remnants to the upper two corners of the verso from previous mounting. Otherwise, this work appears to be in very good original condition.
