Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and attached to the mount at all four corner. The left edge is slightly unevenly cut and probably taken from a note book. The sheet is time stained and there is staining to the upper and right edges due to mounting. There are a few tiny scattered spots of foxing. This work is in overall good condition.
Colours: The colours are overall fairly accurate, though less pink in the original.
