Condition Report:
Executed on thin Japan paper mounted on cream wove paper that has been removed from a notebook. As a result the left edge is deckled. The sheet is hinged to a window mat. Remnants of adhesive and tape on the upper and lower edges of the verso. The upper left and upper right corners of the Japan paper have been lost. Some very minor handling marks around the edges, only visible in raking light. The sheet is time-stained overall and a mat burn runs along the extreme perimeter. The work is in good condition.
