Condition
The colours are clear and fresh. Around the extreme edges of the sheet there is a brown line, caused by previous mounting. However this is hidden by the current mount. The paper has some signs of surface dirt, however this is not serious and does not distract from the overall composition. The sheet has been laid down. Overall the condition is good.
