Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and affixed to the artist's mount in two places at the upper left and right edges. There are pinholes to each of the four corners, two pinholes at the centre of the upper edge and two staple holes to each of the lower corners. The paper has been previously folded horizontally across the centre with a 1.5cm-long tear to the centre of the left edge. There are a further few minor creases to the upper right corner and a few creases running diagonally from the centre of the right edge. The sheet is slightly time-stained and there are a few areas of white along the lower left border where the fixative has not been applied. Otherwise this work is in overall fairly good condition.
