Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount at the upper left, upper right and lower left corners, and floating in the overmount. The sheet is very slightly time-stained and there are some very minor creases to the lower two corners. There is some very minor foxing to the right upper edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the paper tone is slightly warmer in the original.
