Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on cardboard. Examination under UV light reveals no evidence of retouching. The edges are slightly deckled. There are a few flattened diagonal creases to the upper left quadrant, a small repaired tear (approx.. 3.5 cm long) towards the upper part of the right edge and a diagonal repaired tear (approx. 6 cm long) running diagonally to the lower right corner. There are some minor lines of surface abrasion and scratches predominately to the upper part of the composition to the sky. There are a few humidity marks, possibly inherent to the medium, in places. The sheet is light stained. This work is in overall fairly good condition.
