Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and attached to the artist's mount intermittently along all four edges. The left edge is unevenly cut having been removed from an artist's sketchbook. The sheet is gently undulating. There are faint spots of foxing throughout and the pigments have very slightly faded over time. There are remnants of old framer's tape attached to the verso of the artist's mount. This work is in overall good condition.
