Condition
Executed on linen-finished paper laid down on board. The board is stable and there are no signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is a fine crease running along the extreme part of the upper edge with some associated tiny specks of pigment loss. According to the expert, the left and right edges have been slightly unevenly cut by another hand. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition.
