Condition
Executed on thick cream wove paper, not laid down, floating in the mount and attached along the upper edge. The upper edge and left edge are unevenly cut. The sheet is time-stained at all four corners due to the previous mounting. There is a very minor stain towards the lower left corner, possibly consistent with the artist's medium. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
