Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and attached to the mount with tape in two places at the upper edge. The sheet is slightly time stained and the paper is undulating, consistent with the application of medium. There are pinholes at the centre of the upper and lower edges and at the lower left corner. There is a tiny nick to the right part of the lower edge and a tiny loss to the paper at the lower right corner. This work is in very good condition.
