Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount in two places along the upper edge, and floating in the over-mount. All four edges are deckled. The sheet is very slightly undulating in places, inherent to the artist's process. There are a few tape remnants to the verso from previous mounting. This work is in overall very good condition.
