Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in two places on the upper edge, and floating in the window-mount. The sheet is slightly time-stained. The upper edge is serrated (barely visible) due the sheet having been removed from a sketch-book. The sheet is very slightly undulating in places. This work is in overall good condition.
