Condition
Executed on cream wove paper and not laid down. The sheet is slightly time-stained. There is an artist's pin hole towards the right of the upper edge, some foxing marks in places and some scattered studio marks. The lower and upper right corners have been restored and there are some paper losses to some of the extreme edges. Overall this work is in fairly good condition.
