Condition
Executed on brown laid paper. The sheet has been lined using thin restorer paper and is laid down on a card at the extreme edges. The sheet is slightly undulating consistent with the application of medium. There are a few minor repaired tears along the extreme edges, notably along the lower edge. The extreme edges are deckled with associated small nicks, notably to the upper left corner and a few scattered pinholes (not visible when framed). The sheet is light stained and some of the pigment has very slightly faded. There are a few scattered specks of foxing. This work is in fairly good condition.
