Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on Japan paper which is affixed to the mount at three points with tape along the upper edge. The left edge is deckled and there is an associated nick to the upper part. There is an intermittent vertical repaired tear (approx. 4 cm long) to the upper part of the left edge. There is a faint horizontal crease running across the centre of the composition and a few additional minor flattened creases in places. The ink appears to have slightly faded. The sheet is slightly light stained with a few scattered faint dots of foxing in places. There is some minor mount staining along the extreme edges. This work is in overall good condition.
