Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the overmount along all four edges. There are tape remnants at the centre of the edges and at the corner of the reverse, probably due to previous mounting. There is light time staining to the sheet with discolouration to the edges. This work is in good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the sheet is slightly warmer in the original.
