Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, hinged to the top two cornes, floating in the mount. The left edge is uneven and there is a minor tear to the lower right edge. There are two flattened creases running horizontally across the centre of the sheet and a flattened crease to the upper left corner. Apart from some handling marks to the upper corners and some light undulations mainly to the upper area due to the laying process, this work is in good condition.
Colours: the paper tone is slightly warmer in the original.
