Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge. The upper, right and lower edges are slightly unevenly cut. There is a repaired loss to the lower left corner and a further smaller repaired loss to the centre of the right edge (approx. 1cm wide). There are six repaired tears in places along the edges (the most prominent of which is to the centre of the upper edge, approx. 5cm. long). There is a flattened vertical crease to the centre of the sheet from prior folding. There is a small medium stain, possibly ink, to the lower left quadrant, not visually distracting. This work is in overall good condition.
