Condition
Executed on buff coloured wove paper, not laid down. The paper is attached to the mount at each corners and is floating in its over-mount. The sheet is slightly time-stained. There is a window which allows the verso to be viewed whilst framed. The edges are uneven. There are some minor handling marks and creases in places throughout and a small flattened crease running across the top of the upper left corner. There is a small tear to the upper left edge. There is a small cut running horizontally from the extreme upper right corner which appears to be original. There are a few occasional tiny spots of foxing in places and a media stain to the figure's coat on the verso, not visible from the recto. This work is in overall good condition.
