Condition
Executed on laid Michellet paper, not laid down, attached to the mount at all four corners and floating in the overmount. The sheet is time-stained and this reveals evidence of a previous mounting. The lower and right edges are deckled and there is a 1cm-long tear to the left part of the extreme lower edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
