Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and attached to the overmount at the upper two corners and at the centre of the lower edges. All four edges are slightly deckled. There is an artist's pin hole to each corner and there is a faint vertical crease to the sheet where it has once been folded in half. There is some very fine mount staining to the extreme edges, not visible when framed. The crayon colours are fresh and this work is in overall good condition.
