Condition
Executed on cream colored wove paper not laid down. The sheet is hinged to the mat at two places along the verso of the upper edge. Remnants of old framer's tape visible along the extreme perimeter of verso. Some associated stains visible at center of lower edge and in upper corners. The left and upper edges are very slightly irregular due to the preparation of the sheet. Sheet is lightly time darkened and there is a very faint old mat stain. Some minor flattened creases around the edge and in the center of the lower left quadrant, otherwise fine. This work is in overall very good condition.
