Original study - work appears to be in fairly good order showing expected discolouration, upon removing the mount the Artist's pencil annotations and instructions become visible, as well as paint and ink splashes and marks to the margins, and pinholes to the upper corners. Paper is discoloured and creased in places, but appears intact.
