Condition
The sheet is not fully laid down, but is partially adhered along the extreme edges to a backing card. There is slight cockling to the sheet, with a deckled edge to the edges, with pin holes apparent at all four corners and elsewhere towards the extreme edges. There is a small fold to the centre of the bottom edge, gathering the paper upwards, not visible in the present frame.
There is very minor, slight surface dirt and very minor staining surrounding the aforementioned pin holes, but this excepting the work appears in very good overall condition, with strong, vivid colours throughout.
Housed behind glass in a thick ebonised wooden frame.
