Condition Report:
On wove paper, the sheet is fully laid down onto a board with a deckle at upper and lower sheet edges and remaining sheet edges slightly uneven, in keeping with Artist's materials. The work appears to be in very good condition. There are a few handling marks and smudges along the edges. There is a small tear along the lower right edge. Some further light surface dirt and matter in places including at the edges. Probable time staining to the sheet. Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching. The work is float mounted and presented in a simple gold wooden frame. Please email julia.fischel@sothebys.com if you have any questions regarding the present work.
