Condition
Executed on buff coloured wove paper, not laid down and attached to the mount at all four corners. There are artist's pinholes at the centre of the upper and lower edges. There are a few soft creases around the extreme edges and corners which are very minor and a tiny repair between the figure and the right edge, roughly even with the figure's knees. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
