Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount at the top two corners. There are two strips of restorer's tape to the reverse of the left edge. Apart from a 5cm. flattened crease to the upper left corner and a line of dirt cause by the overmount, this work is in very good condition.
Colours: The paper tone is warmer in the original.
