Condition
Executed on cream coloured laid paper. There is time staining to each of the four edges. There is some foxing to the lower left and the upper right quadrants, as visible in the catalogue illustration. There are several vertical marks to the paper, near the left and right edges, most likely caused by acidic backing. There is a light wave to the paper and some light fading commensurate with age. A small pinhole to the center of the upper edge. The medium is strong and fresh. The work is in good condition.
