Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, t-hinged to the mount at the upper edges. The sheet is time-stained with an associated paler border to the extreme edges (not visible when framed). There are a few intermittent pin-holes in places to the upper edge, and the lower centre and right edge. There are some light creases in places, most prominently towards the lower right corner. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall slightly warmer in the original.
