Condition Report:
This work was inspected framed. The paper is unevenly cut. There are pin holes in the four corners with associated signs of rust in the lower right corner. In the upper right and lower left corners, there are some paper losses. Some small tears are visible in places along the four edges, particularly towards the upper edge in the center. The paper is slightly undulating, in line with the artist's chosen technique. All other irregularities such as stains are consistent with the artist's choice of technique and medium.
