Condition
Executed on Kataster paper, not laid down and taped to the mount in two places along the upper edge. The upper and left edges are unevenly cut. The sheet is slightly time stained and there are scattered faint spots of foxing predominantly around the edges. There are a few studio marks around the edges. There are three tiny pin pricks to the upper left quadrant, barely visible to the naked eye. This work appears to be in good overall condition.
