Condition

The sheet is gently time-stained and the ink has slightly faded. The top right corner has been cut possibly commensurate with the artist's intention. There is a flattened fold running horizontally to the centre of the sheet. There is a tear running vertically up from the centre of the lower edge measuring approx 2cm., and a further tear running from the left of the lower edge 1cm., both not visible when framed. This work is in overall good condition.
