Condition
Executed on buff laid paper, first laid down on a sheet of buff wove paper which is then laid down onto a dark brown card. The edges of the sheet are uneven with some occasional nicks and a paper loss to the upper right corner. The sheet is time-stained. There are scattered medium marks and smudges, inherent to the artist's process, some tiny spots of foxing in places and a curved 5cm-long flattened crease running from the left edge. Otherwise this work is in good overall condition.
