Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, floating in the mount, fixed at the corners. The right edge is uneven and there is some time-staining. There is a diagonal flattened fold in the lower right corner and the other corners are slightly scuffed. There are finger smudges and media marks along with minor creases in the margin surrounding the composition, and a few tiny spots of foxing. Otherwise this work is in good overall condition.
