Condition Report:
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and hinged to a card support in two points along the reverse upper edge. Free-floating in the window mount. Watermarked. The sheet undulates slightly. It is also slightly light stained and bears minor handling creases in places. One tiny tear at the centre of the lower edge (approx. 1 cm.) and one minute loss to the lower right corner. A few flattened horizontal creases and stains in places - all visible only upon very close inspection. Pinholes in the upper corners. The pastel is strong and fresh. The work is in very good condition overall.
