Condition

Executed on japan paper, not laid down, attached to the mount at the upper two corners and at the lower right corner and floating in the over mount. The upper edge is deckled. There are diagonal creases to the lower two corners and some further scattered creases in places, many of which are inherent to the paper. There are two small spots of staining to the upper left corner, and one to the centre of the composition. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition. Colours: More subtle in the original when compared to the printed catalogue illustration.
