Condition

Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the mount at various points. A close inspection reveals three artist's pinholes in the right corners, a tiny remnant of tape along the top edge and two tiny nicks to the surface of the paper towards the centre of the top edge. Apart from some light time-staining and a few tiny scattered spots of foxing, this work is in very good original condition.
