Executed on cream colored wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is affixed to a board at several places around the perimeter on verso. The board is in turn set into a window mat. Left, bottom and right edges are deckled. Top edge is unevenly cut. Sheet undulates slightly. Two vertical repaired tears extend down from the top edge at each of the upper corners: the one from upper left corner approximately 1.5 inches long and that at upper right corner approximately .75 inches long. Several small dots of loss to the green pigment - primarily at lower center edge. A few small nicks and tears around the extreme perimeter of the sheet. Sheet is slightly time darkened overall. Otherwise fine. This work is in generally good condition.
