Condition

Exected on thick cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is very gently ondulating. The lower and right edges are slightly irregular. There are remnants of old framer's tape on the reverse of the upper corners and a few scattered media marks visible on the reverse of the sheet, possibly inherent to the artistic process. Apart from some faint flattened creases along the lower edge and across the upper left corner and some light time-staining, this work is in very good original condition.
