Condition

Sold in modern wood frame. Window mounted on japan paper. The sheet is a little yellowed from the light, with the upper and right margins still the original colour as were protected by an old mount. Some very light, tiny fox marks visible in the sky. Otherwise the sheet is in good condition, and makes a good impression.
