Executed cream wove paper, laid down on card. There appear to be no signs of retouching visible under UV light and the medium is intact. Apart from some minor surface dirt at the centre of the lower edge, this work is in very good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate, although the colours are brighter and more vibrant in the original.
