Condition

Executed on blue laid paper, hinged to the mount at three points along the right edge. A protective Japan paper has been put on the reverse of the sheet, it is easily removable. There are two remnants of white restorer tape on the reverse, along the left edge, probably from a previous mounting. The sheet is slightly undulating. There are a few humidity marks to the right part of the upper edge and towards the centre of the right edge, probably inherent to the artist's process. This work is in very good original condition.
