Please note that measurements in inches are incomplete in the printed catalogue and should read 20 5/8 x 29 3/8 in. Executed on thick paper. The sheet is taped to the mount at various places. The edges are slightly irregular, possibly intrinsic to the original paper. There is some time-staining and some minor spots of media loss in the red and green pigments on the right-hand side of the composition. Apart from a network of thin craquelures in the light blue pigments and some stable humidity stains, possibly inherent to the technique, this work is in good condition.
