Condition Report:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the mount in different places. There is some overall discolouration and slight undulation to the sheet, consistent with the age of the work. There are two very tiny tears along the edges, visible upon very close inspection and under raking light. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
