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 at the upper corners to the backing board. The upper edge of the sheet is deckled. Pinholes are occasionally along the upper edge, presumably vestiges of the artist's working process. A few small spots of rubbing are occasionally to the edges of the margin. A few pinpoint spots of foxing are near the lower edge of the margin. A few pinpoint accretions are to the edges of the image. A minute linear accretion is to the right upper edge, and a pinpoint one is near the upper right corner of the image. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
