Pu🌳rchased at the above sale by the family of the present owner
Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the overmount at the top two corners. The left edge of the sheet is uneven with an associated paper loss and minor nicks, intrinsic to the nature of the support. There is a small patch of tape residue to the centre of the upper edge and a small tape remnant to the lower left corner on the reverse. Apart from some minor discolouration to the extreme edges (not visible when framed) and some light foxing to the sheet, this work is in good condition.
