Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount at the top two corners, floating in the mount. The work has been slightly time-struck, with light time-staining to the child's arm. There is light paper-skinning to the verso of the extreme left edge, probably due to a previous mounting. There is a tiny fold to the extreme lower left corner. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
