Condition

The sheet appears to be laid down on a thin japan paper which in turn is taped down to the mount. There is evidence of some surface dirt to the edges where the existing mount covers a small proportion of the four edges. There are some very feint areas of foxing. The medium is however fresh throughout. Sold in a modern giltwood frame.
