Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down and t-hinged to the mount at the upper two corners. The sheet is time-stained and there is some scattered foxing. There is a 12cm-long repaired tear to the left part of the lower edge and a further few small repaired tears, small paper losses and nicks to the extreme edges. There is some water-staining to the upper part of the right edge and to the left part of the lower edge. There are a few small spots of discolouration in places, including a diagonal line to the centre of the composition. Otherwise this work is in overall fairly good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
