Condition

Executed on brown wove paper. The sheet has been t-hinged to a window mat at two places along the top edge of its verso, and the extreme perimeter of the verso has been taped. Minor losses have occurred to the extreme top edge near the left and right corners and along the right edge, though these losses in no way interfere with the composition itself. The colors are bright and fresh and overall the work is in very good condition.
