Condition
The work is executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, glued to the mount along all four edges. There are eight artist's pinholes in the upper corners and in the lower right, as well as in the centre of the upper edge. There is a slight waviness to the sheet which is probably inherent to the artistic process. There is some light time staining and some very minor spots of foxing mostly in the upper part of the composition. Other than a 1 cm tear running vertically in the top left corner, this work is in fairly good condition.
