Condition Report: Fine, harmonious overall appearance. The sheet edges slightly unevenly cut as well as unevenly time stained, all along with light-stain. At the upper edge on the left, one small loss (0,1 x 1 cm) with a diagonal tear (1 cm). The right edge with isolated minuscule tears (up to 0,3 cm); and, in the centre, with a tiny brown stain. The paper slightly creased, in places with slight scuff marks inherent to the artist's technique. The corners, each with multiple minuscule mounting holes (from staples). On the reverse, at lower left, the paper with localised time staining due to the exposure of the estate stamp in a mat window. In the upper corners, yellowed adhesive tape strips and minuscule rests of textile adhesive tape from former mounting
