Condition
Executed on cream-wove paper, not laid down. Affixed in three places to the overmount, along the upper edge. The sheet is very gently undulating, due to the application of medium. All four edges are slightly unevenly cut. There are intermittent pinholes along the extreme four edges. Some minor creases to the extreme upper left and right corners, and the lower right corner. Three vertical repaired tears along the upper edge. Two vertical repaired tears towards the right lower edge about two inches each. Some spots of shrinkage and craquelure to the blue and red pigments, with some very minor associated pigment losses. The colors are bright and this work is overall in very good condition.
