Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, mounted on restorer's paper and not laid down, fixed to the mount at all four corners and floating in the mount. The sheet is slightly time stained and there is a slight abrasion to the upper left corner, perhaps from previous mounting. There are some very fine creases in places, most prominently towards the centre of the right edge, and some tiny flecks of dirt towards the lower left corner. This work is in overall good condition.
