Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, and taped to the overmount along all four edges. The sheet is slightly time-stained. There has been a previous attempt at cleaning the edges of the work which has resulted in some pale staining in places, most prominently towards the upper right and lower left corners. There is some paint shrinkage and minor medium loss to some of the green pigments. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
