Condition
Executed on buff wove paper and hinged to the backboard at three corners on the reverse. There is some creasing to the lower quarter and a small scuff with a small associated loss in the figure's neck. Overall this work is in good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although there are greater contrasts in the original.
