Condition
The work is in very good condition. Executed on buff-colored wove paper. The sheet is hinged to a mount at two places along the top edge of its verso. All four edges are deckled. The sheet is lightly time-stained overall. The medium is well-preserved. There are remnants of adhesive along the center of the top edge, likely from a previous mounting.
