Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, fixed to the overmount along the upper edge. There is time-staining to the edges consistent with normal aging, along with handling smudges and scattered media marks. There are some light brown spots of foxing in the background, otherwise this work is in overall good original condition.
