CONDITION REPORT:
The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The sheet is hinged periodically to the backing board and undulates slightly. The vertical edges of the sheet are deckled. Pinholes are to the corners, presumably a vestige of the artist's working method. A few small spots of disturbed fiber are to the lower left and upper right corners, and a minute surface irregularity is to the center. A few pinpoint spots of discoloration are near the lower corners. Under ultraviolet light, a few small drip accretions near the left edge fluoresce, but do not appear to be inpainting. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
