Condition

The sheet is not laid down but is attached intermittently to the mount along the edges. Apart from some light unevenness in the paper tone, primarily near the edges of the sheet, and two light old creases in the lower-left and upper-right corners, this work is in good overall condition. The sheet is less of a yellow tone in reality than the catalogue illustration suggests. Presented framed and glazed, the edges of the sheet visible and not covered by the mat.
