Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and t-hinged to the mount at the upper two corners. The sheet is slightly time stained and there is some discolouration along the edges due to previous mounting. There is a spot of staining towards the upper centre, probably inherent to the sheet. There are some fine creases towards the right edge and upper right corner. Overall this work is in good condition.
