Acquired by the father of the present owner in the 1920s

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount in the top two corners. The lower and right edges are deckled. There is a light flattened crease to the lower left corner (not visible when framed). Apart from some time staining to the sheet and some light studio dirt, mainly to the edges, this work is in good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate although the paper tone is slightly stronger in the original.
