Condition
Executed on cream wove paper mounted between panes of glass in a double-sided frame. There is a very faint mat stain on the perimeter of the recto and the sheet is somewhat time-darkened overall. There is possibly a repaired tear at the far lower right corner and a flattened crease at the upper left corner. A few other spots of discoloration may correspond to small repairs, but otherwise the work is fine. The work is in very good condition overall.
