Condition Report:
It has not been possible to examine the work out of its frame. Executed on cream laid paper and floating in its mount. There are a few pinholes at the upper right and lower corners. There is a repaired tear (approx. 2 cm long) towards the upper right corner associated with minor glue remnants and some superficial dirt. The sheet is slightly light stained with a few scattered dots of foxing. There are minor humidity marks probably inherent to the artistic process. This work appears to be in overall good condition.
