Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, and t-hinged to the mount in two places on the upper edge. The left, right and lower edges are deckled. There are artist's pinholes to all four corners and the ones on the upper corners appear to have been infilled. The sheet is slightly time stained and there is some pale-white discolouration in places. There are a few scattered foxing marks away from the image itself. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the paper tone is slightly less pink in the original.
