Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, taped to the overmount at all four corners and at the centre of each edge. There are some scattered minor spots of foxing in places and it would appear that a past pencil inscription in the lower right corner has been erased. There are a few vertical flattened creases (or possibly very well repaired tears, the longest of which is approximately 4cm long) to the centre of the upper edge. There has been some paper skinning to parts of the lower edge of the verso and there are some glue remnants to the verso edges from previous mounting. There is some stable, very minor paint shrinkage to some of the thicker black pigments. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
