Condition
Executed on white wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the over-mount at two points along the upper edge and is very slightly wavy. A close inspection reveals a flattened crease running diagonally across the lower left corner and some faint scattered spots of foxing. Apart from some light time-staining, this work is in excellent original condition.
