Condition
It has not been possible to examine this work out of its frame. Executed on two sheets of cream wove paper which has been stuck together to form a single sheet and floating in the mount. The paper is slightly time stained and the lower edge is deckled. The paper is undulating slightly. There are a few spots of faint staining to the paper surface towards the centre of the right sheet. There is some creasing to the left hand sheet. This work appears to be in very good condition.
