Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is affixed to the mount at intermittent points along the perimeter of the verso and is floating in its mount. The sheet was extracted from a sketchbook along the left edge and the upper edge is slightly unevenly cut. The sheet is lightly time-stained and gently undulating with a few scattered spots of foxing and an old mat stain visible in the lower right corner. There is a minor nick to the centre of the upper edge. This work is in very good overall condition.
