Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, attached to the mount in the top two corners. All four edges of the sheet are deckled. There is a 2cm. flattened crease to the centre of the left edge and a 1.5cm. flattened crease to the centre of the right edge. There are two small areas of minor paper skinning to the lower left and right corners on the reverse, not visible on the recto and probably due to previous mounting. There is a tiny nick to the top left edge. Apart from some light undulation to the sheet, integral to the artist's process, and some very light time staining to the sheet, this work is in very good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate.
