Condition
Executed on a sheet of white sketchbook paper, not laid down and hinged to the mount in two places on the upper edge. The lower edge is perforated with some tiny paper losses associated to the tearing out process. There are a few small spots of staining to the upper part of the lower left quadrant and a further few small spots of staining to the upper right corner. There is a tiny cluster of foxing to the right edge of the lower left quadrant. There are two tiny tears to the upper right corner, a further tiny tear to the left part of the extreme upper edge and one to the centre of the extreme left edge. There are some tape remnants along some parts of the verso of the lower edge and some further minor staining to the verso. There are some minor handling creases in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall fairly good condition.
