Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and hinged to the overmount along the upper edge. The sheet is gently undulating due to the application of medium. There is dark stain running along the lower edge, possibly a studio mark. The edges of the sheet have been supported with restorer's tape and have residue of former mount adhesive, not visible when framed. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
