Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and attached to the mount along the upper edge. The sheet is time stained. There are several nicks to the the right edge and a flattened crease (approx. 7cm) running across the lower right corner which has resulted in some undulation to the surrounding area, barely noticeable when framed. There are some remnants of old glue and some studio dirt visible along the extreme upper edge. There are two faint spots of foxing to the upper half of the composition. This work is in overall good condition.
