Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on board. There are artist's pinholes to the corners of the sheet and the edges are intermittently scuffed in places most predominately along the lower edge. There are flattened creases to the tip of the upper right corner. There is a horizontal line (approx 15 cm long) to the lower part of the right edge with a glossy texture which appears to relate to a surface scratch. There are some further scattered surface scratches to the sheet and two nicks towards the centre of the upper and lower edges respectively. This work is in overall fairly good condition.
