Condition
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places on the reverse. There are artist's pinholes on all four corners. All four edges are slightly deckled. The sheet undulates slightly. There is evidence of extremely faint handling creases to the left edge, towards the upper left corner, which is likely to be original.
