Condition
This work is in good original condition. Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the mount at a few points along the upper edge and is floating in the over-mount. There is a slight waviness to the sheet. There is a network of hairline shrinkage in the thickest lines of black ink with some associated lifting, notably around the top of the vase. A close inspection reveals a small nick to the surface of the sheet below the date, a small nick above the rightmost flower and a thin surface scratch running diagonally towards the centre of the right edge.
