Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in 8 places along the upper edge and floating in the over mount. The left and right edges are deckled and the upper and lower edges are slightly unevenly cut. The sheet is slightly time-stained. There are some very small dots of white paint in places, most probably from the artist's studio. This work is in overall very good condition.
