Condition

Executed on cream wove squared paper, laid down on the artist's mount. There are two separate sheets that make up the work. Apart from a few pinhead-sized paper losses to the left edge of the right sheet, some surface dirt to the two sheets and some light time staining due to previous mounting, this work is in good condition.
