Condition

Executed on buff coloured wove paper, laid down on board. There are some small nicks and paper losses to all four edges, as well as a band of medium wear, due to the nature of the framing. There are also some pinhead-sized holes to the upper left corner, near the upper right edge and towards the lower right corner, possibly artist's pinholes. Apart from a couple of nailhead-sized spots of paper skinning to the centre right of the work, this work is in good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate although the colours are richer and more varied in the original.
