Condition
Executed on buff-coloured wove paper, possibly laid down. The overmount is glued down, possibly to the sheet and would require a restorer's attention in order to be removed. There are a series of minor flattened creases running vertically up from the lower edge, a 1cm. long paper loss to the lower left edge, a 0.5cm. paper loss to the upper left corner and a 2cm. tear towards the centre upper edge. Apart from some areas of discolouration to the lower left corner, this work is in overall good condition.
