Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on card. The sheet is very slightly light-stained and there are two pin-sized variations to the surface, related to the laying down process: one to to the top of the figure's ear and one to the background. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: the papertone is less yellow in the original, when compared to the printed catalogue.
