Condition

Executed on white laid paper, not laid down. The sheet is attached to the mount along the edges. The upper and right edges are slightly irregular. A close inspection reveals two artist's pinholes, in the lower left corner and towards the upper left corner. Apart from a few discreet scattered spots of foxing and some light time-staining, this work is in very good original condition.
