Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in the top two corners, floating in the mount. There is a 1.5 cm. repaired damage to the lower centre, a 0.5 cm. tear to the centre of the left edge and a further 0.5 cm. tear to the right of the lower edge. On the verso there are three lines of light paper rubbing running vertically to the sheet. There is a 3.5 cm. flattened crease to the centre of the upper edge, a 2 cm. flattened crease to the top left corner, a 4 cm. flattened crease to the lower right corner, visible only on the reverse, and several very minor flattened creases to the extreme edges in the upper half of the sheet. Apart from some very light handling marks to the edges of the sheet, this work is in good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate, although the paper tone is brighter and pencil lines are stronger in the original.
