Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in the top two corners. There are some intermittent spots of glue residue to the centre of the upper edge and small spots of glue residue to the centre of the left and right edges, probably due to previous mounting. Apart from some minor time staining to the centre of the sheet, this work is in very good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate although the pencil line is stronger in the original.
