Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the overmount along the upper edge. The lower half of the sheet has been folded back on itself, not affecting the main part of the composition. There is an artist's pinhole at each of the four corners, none of which are visible when framed. There is a diagonal crease across the upper right corner and the sheet is gently undulating in places, most prominently along the extreme left edge. There is some mount staining to the lower part of the sheet, and the extreme right edge, not visible when framed. There are some tape remnants to the part of the sheet that is folded back on itself, so again not visible when framed. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
