Condition
Executed on cream wove paper. Due to the nature of the framing, it is not possible to examine the sheet unframed, though it does not appear to be laid down. The sheet is slightly time stained. There is a repaired tear to the upper right corner with a small associated stain. There are a further few small lines of tears to the upper part of the left edge and a tiny scuff mark towards the upper left corner. There are a few minor foxing marks. Overall this work is in good condition.
