Condition

Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount at the upper two corners, and floating in the overmount. The extreme lower and right edges are deckled and the extreme left and upper edges are slightly unevenly cut. The sheet is very slightly time-stained and there is a small diagonal crease to the lower right corner. The sheet is very slightly undulating in places, mainly towards the edges, and inherent to the artist process. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
