Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, attached to the mount at the upper two corners and floating in the overmount. The left, lower and right edges are deckeld and the upper edge is slighlty unevenly cut. There are some small supported paper losses to the lower right corner and the upper part of the right edge. There is some extremely minor red staining to the very extreme upper edge, probably inherent to the artist's process. There are some very light handling marks in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
