Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and attached to the mount at the upper two corners. The sheet is very lightly time-stained, and there is brown tape remnant running along the verso of all four extreme edges, probably from a previous mounting. There is an artist's pinhole to all four corners and the extreme right edge is deckled. There are a few scattered studio stains in places and some minor medium smudging, inherent to the artist's process. There are some very minor diagonal creases to the upper and lower corners. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
