Condition
Executed on white wove paper, not laid down, fixed to the backing board at several points at the top and in the center. The rectangular composition in the center of the sheet is in very good original condition and the colors remain strong. There is a 4cm minor crease running vertically in the white and grey just above the center and a 2cm diagonal crease at the base of the pitcher. Around the unpainted border of the sheet (not at all visible when framed): the right edge is uneven with associated nicks and losses, notably a 4 x 1cm triangular loss. The upper right corner is missing and the lower corners have very small flattened folds. There are vertical flattened folds running near the left and right edges, with some additional creasing on the left, and some finger smudges and media marks around the border, inherent to the artistic technique.
