Private Collection (acquired circa 1970)

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, and t-hinged to the mount in two places at the upper edge. The sheet is lightly time-stained and there is a small paper loss to the upper right corner. There are a few small repaired tears to the extreme edges and some evidence of repaired paper skinning to the edges of the verso. The sheet is very slightly undulated in places and there are a few spots of foxing in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall fairly good condition. Colours: Overall slightly less red in the original.
