Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on card and floating in the frame. The sheet is time-struck, it has been folded twice and there are two faint associated creases, one vertical and one horizontal. There are a few spots of foxing and there are some dark stains, probably inherent to the laying down process. Otherwise this work is in overall fairly good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
