Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, laid down onto a sheet of restorer's paper and t-hinged to the mount at the upper two corners. There are two tears to the lower part of the left edge, both away from the image, the larger one of which measure is 8.5cm long and a tiny paper loss to the left part of the lower edge. The sheet is slightly time-stained, and there is some mount staining to the extreme edges and not visible when framed. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the paper tone is warmer in the original.
