Condition
Executed on thick cream wove paper, not laid down. There are very minor diagonal creases to each of the corners and a few minor nicks to the extreme edges. There is some staining (probably from a previous support that the sheet was laid onto in the past) and some foxing to the verso, no evidence of which is visible on the recto of the sheet. The work has a lovely rich texture and is in overall very good condition.
