Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged in two places along the upper edge and floating in its mount. The sheet is time-stained and the lower edge is unevenly cut. There are five intermittent artist's pinholes along the left edge with small associated tears. There is a flattened crease in the lower left quadrant and a smaller flattened crease in the upper right corner. Along the left edge there are some remnants of a former mount. This work is in overall fairly good condition.
