Condition
Very good condition; not laid down; hinged with tape at top corners; slightly time-stained overall; visible spots at edges where tape has bleached paper. Some smudging around the central figure, most likely to have happened in artist's studio. Ink wash strong. Incised watermark visible to the right of horse; tiny flecks of fiber in paper have discolored over time.
