Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the mount at the four corners and the center of each edge. The upper edge is very slightly irregular. There is a very slight wave to the sheet consistent with the artist's technique. Apart from some very minor time staining, this work is in excellent condition.
