Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in the top two corners. There are artist's pinholes to the top two and lower left corners and all four edges are deckled. There are some minor associated nicks to the upper, right and lower edges (not visible when framed). There is a nailhead-sized paper infill to the torso of the large figure and some faint spots of foxing throughout the sheet. Apart from some light staining to all four edges, due to previous mounting, this work is in good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration.
