Condition
Executed on beige wove paper, not laid down, fixed to the backing board in the centre of the four edges. There are traces of old tape on the reverse. The edges are uneven with some associated scuffs and minor nicks. There has been some abrasion to the front surface of the paper, probably inherent to the artist's process. Apart from some scattered spots of foxing (particularly evident on the reverse), this work is in very good original condition.
