Condition
Executed on white wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the over-mount at two points along the upper edge. The left edge is slightly irregular. There are media marks on the reverse of the sheet which appear to have been inherent to the artistic process. A close inspection reveals some minor abrasion along the reverse of the edges, a faint flattened crease with an associated tiny tear in the upper right corner and a tiny tear towards the centre of the right edge. Apart from a few small spots of foxing and some light time-staining, this work is in very good original condition.
