Condition
The medium is pen and ink on paper. The work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached to the mat backing at the two upper corners, verso. The sheet has darkened from light exposure except in the margins, where covered by the matting. There are two very small, minor flattened creases in the extreme upper left corner. There is a very minor 3mm long tear in the extreme margin of the upper right edge, near the corner, above the hinging tape. There are some soft, faint handling creases and a few fibers of the paper which are more prominent. The work presents very well.
