Condition
This paper had been laid down to an archival piece of paper which has been hinged at the top with archival tape. The sheet has irregular edges. There are two vertical tears running from the lower edge, the one on the left extending up towards the door in the background and the other extending above the signature about three inches; associated restorations cause a slight disturbance on the surface. The picture appears to be light struck in contrast to areas of the mat.
