Condition
Executed on wove paper, not laid down, affixed to the mount at intermittent points on the reverse. The upper and right edges are deckled. The sheet is faintly undulating. There is some slight abrasion along the extreme edges with a few associated pigment losses. There is no evidence of retouching under UV light. Apart from a tiny web of craquelure to the black pigment towards the centre of the upper edge, this work is in very good original condition.
