Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is affixed to the mount in two places along the verso of the upper edge and is floating in its mount. The sheet is lightly time-stained and there are a few very faint spots of foxing. There is some gentle creasing along the right upper edge and a thin flattened crease running diagonally across the lower left corner. This work is in good overall condition.
