Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge; there is a reproduction image printed on the verso. The left edge is deckled. The signature has been added by another hand. There are three stains along the upper edge, possibly pertaining to previous mounting and not visible when framed. There are some very faint lines of mount staining along the extreme edges. There is a tear approximately 5mm. long to the centre of the left edge and some minor flattened creases, predominantly towards the lower right corner. This work is in overall good condition.
