Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is affixed to the backing board at two points along the verso of the upper edge. The lower, left and right edges are deckled and slightly uneven. There are artist's pinholes in each of the corners which have been infilled in the past. The sheet is time-stained and there are some faint spots of foxing in places. There are some minor nicks and handling marks along the edges consistent with age and handling. There are two faint spots of discolouration to the sheet in the lower half of the recto which appear to correspond to the removal of an old mount. This work is in overall good condition.
