Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on very thin restorer's paper and t-hinged to the mount at the upper two corners. The sheet is slightly time-stained and very gently undulating at the upper left corner. There is a horizontal crease across the centre of the sheet, probably due to previous folding. There are some small repaired tears to the upper edge, a fine crease to the upper left corner and a minor repaired paper loss to the lower left and right corners. Some studio stains to the inscription. This work is in overall good condition.
