Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, taped to a window mount at the corners, and floating in the mount. The sheet is slightly time stained and the upper edge has been torn from a sketch book. There is a tear to the upper right corner and a crease to the lower right corner. There is some previous mount staining visible along the edges and some spots of foxing and discolouration. There are two pin holes along the right part of the upper edge, and there is a small tear (5mm) towards the left of the upper edge. The colours remain bright and fresh. On the reverse there are a few minor spots of discolouration. Otherwise this work is in good condition.
