Condition
Executed on buff-colored wove paper. The sheet has been laid down on thin card and the card has been taped to a window mat at five places around the perimeter of its verso. Some scattered pindots of discoloration are apparent, possibly the result of previous repairs, and there are some very minor stains present at the bottom left and right corners.
