Condition
Executed on beige wove paper, not laid down. The sheet was probably taken from
an in-quarto book (suggested by the torn left edge). There are some superficial scratches in the upper right section of the work (possibly there before the execution of the work) and two tiny tears along the right edge. Apart from some dirty marks especially located on the signature, this work is in fairly good condition.
