Condition
Overall good condition consistent with age and gentle handling. When viewed in person, the white square is more of a subtle cream tone. The board with scattered pinholes and minor losses mostly within the background. With light surface dirt throughout. An intricate work by Eileen Gray and rare opportunity to acquire a work on paper by the artist.
