Condition

There is a tear (approx. 6 cm long) running across the upper right corner. There are dots of discolouration to the left part of the upper edge. The sheet is light stained with a faint stain to the lower left quadrant. There are a few surface scratches in places, notably in the blue pigment, and some scuffs and abrasion along the extreme edges (not visible when framed). This work is in overall fairly good condition.
