Condition
Executed on thick cream wove paper, not laid down and taped to the overmount along all four edges. The sheet is slightly time stained and there is some minor foxing in places, mainly to the sky. There is a tiny tear (5mm long) to the centre of the upper edge, some tiny flecks of gold residue to the lower edge from the inner mount, some very minor localised paint shrinkage to some of the thicker pigments with a few tiny associated paint losses. There is a small crease to the upper right corner. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
