Condition
Executed on tracing paper, laid down on a sheet of paper which is hinged to the mount at the upper two corners. The edges are slightly unevenly cut and there are some minor creases in places, the most prominent of which is a diagonal crease to the upper right corner. The sheet is slightly time stained and there are some small undulations in places due to the laying down process, mainly to the left of the horse. Otherwise this work is overall good condition.
Colours: The paper tone is lighter in the original when compared to the printed catalogue illustration.
