Condition
The work is in very good condition. Executed on buff-colored wove paper. The sheet is affixed with adhesive to a mount at each of the extreme four corners of its verso. Fourteen artist's pinholes are faintly visible along the perimeter of the sheet. A minor nick is vible along the edge at bottom center. Very faint crease lines are visible in a couple places, including one at the extreme bottom left corner. A tiny brown spot is faintly visible at the top center of the composition which may be inherent to the sheet. The colors remain fresh and vibrant.
