Condition
Executed on buff colored wove paper. The left right and bottom edges have been cut. The sheet is hinged to its amount at two points along the to edge, two inches from each corner. The sheet has been slightly time darkened and its original fibers are visibly scattered throughout, creating an interesting texture. The sheet is also a little dirty and there are a couple very minor studio marks visible. There are a number of gentle increases occurring mostly to the outermost areas of the sheet and thus not interrupting the composition. The work is in good condition.
