This work can be hung in any orientation. Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is affixed to the mount at intermittent points along the verso and is floating in its mount. There is an artist's pinhole in two of the corners. The sheet is lightly time-stained with some very gentle creasing and handling marks in places. There is a very small tear to the lower left edge. This work is in overall very good condition.
