Condition
Executed on cream wove paper and not laid down. There is some mount staining along the upper edge from previous framing. There are a few very faint spots of foxing in places. There are tape remnants in two places to the verso along the upper edge, slightly visible to the recto. There are some fine lines of flattened creases, predominantly along the left edge. The Nachlass mark appears to have been heightened in ink by another hand, as confirmed by the expert Dr. Marian Bisanz-Prakken. This work is in good original condition.
