Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Executed on cream wove paper. The sheet is affixed to the overmount along the extreme edges. There are faint pencil gridlines throughout, relating to the artist’s working method. This includes a linear area of paper skinning (approx. 20cm in length) in the upper right corner where the artist has erased a previous pencil line and two further small areas of skinning to the upper right and lower right corners. There are a few tiny spot accretions (the largest measuring approx. 0.1cm in diameter) in occasional places throughout.
