Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, and hinged to the mount in two places on the upper edge. The right edge is deckled, and there are a few nicks to the left edge (none of which is visible when framed). The sheet is slightly time-stained and there is some minor foxing in places, mainly to the extreme upper and lower edges and away from the image. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
