Condition
Executed on buff wove paper, not laid down, floating in the mount, fixed in the upper corners. The left edge is deckled. There is the outline of a pencil drawing on the reverse of the sheet. There is a diagonal flattened crease running from the lower edge to the top edge. A much smaller, fainter flattened fold is visible in the lower right corner. There are some thin dark ink stains to the lower edge. Apart from some very minor creasing and handling smudges, this work is in very good condition.
