Condition

There is a small crease (approx. 4 cm long) to the left part of the upper edge, and a few smaller creases along the extreme edges. The sheet is light stained with a few scattered dots of foxing. There is a bit of mount staining along the extreme edges, probably related to a previous framing (not visible when framed). Colours are fresh and vivid. This work is in overall good condition.
