Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, taped to the overmount along the top edge. There is restorer's tape to the verso of all four edges. There are two artist's pinholes to the centre of the top edge. Apart from some mount staining to the edges, this work is in very good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate although the paper tone is slightly warmer and the colours are more vibrant in the original.
