Condition
Executed on thick cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the over-mount at the four corners. There are stains from a previous mount visible on the reverse. A close inspection reveals a tiny tear to the centre of the left edge (not visible when framed). Apart from some light time-staining and scattered faint spots of foxing, notably in the lower half of the composition, this work is in very good condition.
