Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, and laid down on paper. Adhered to the mount on all four edges. The sheet is lightly time-stained, and is gently undulating. There is evidence of skinning in the upper left quadrant and to the left of the arm of the figure to the right of the composition. There are remnants of former mount tape to the verso and very minor spots of foxing predominantly in the sky to the background of the sheet. This work is in overall good condition.
