Condition
Executed on beige wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is affixed to the mount at intermittent points along the perimeter of the verso and is floating in the mount. The edges are deckled with minor handling marks and creases. There is a small tear in the upper right corner. The sheet is time-stained and gently undulating with a few faint specks of foxing in places. There are some media marks at upper right, several artist's pinholes towards the centre of the upper right quadrant and a few fly spots to the centre of the upper edge. This work is in good overall condition.
