Executed on cream wove paper which has not been laid down. The paper is a little thin and the numbering to the verso of the lower left corner is lightly visible from the front. There is minor light creasing to the lower right corner and a light wave to the paper along the right edge. There are a couple of spots of very minor foxing along the left upper edge. The pigment is fresh and strong and the work is in very good original condition.
