Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and floating in the mount; the edges of the verso are reinforced with paper which is hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge. The sheet is slightly time stained and there are some light handling marks; this work might benefit from a light clean. There is a repaired tear, approximately 5mm long to the centre of the lower edge. There are some adhesive remnants to the two left corners and the upper right corner from previous mounting. This work is in overall good condition.
