Condition
The work is in excellent condition. Executed on cream wove paper. The work is hinged to a mount in three places: twice along the upper edge and once along the lower edge. The left edge of the sheet is deckled. There is a slight wave to the paper which is inherent to the medium. There is some extremely light scattered staining. The sheet is slightly time stained along the lower left edge. There is some light staining along the extreme perimeter of the verso, likely due to a prior mounting. The pigments are extremely bright and fresh.
