Condition

The work is in very good condition. Executed on cream wove paper. The sheet is hinged to a mount in the top left and top right corners of its verso. The medium is well preserved and the colors are bright and fresh. The sheet is undulating slightly, inherent to the application of the medium. There is a handling crease in the upper right and lower right corners. The lower edge and the right edge are unevenly cut. There are a few very faint spots of foxing.
