Condition
Executed on card, not laid down, t-hinged to the mount at the upper two corners. The card is very gently undulating in places due to the application of medium. The card is slightly time stained, with some mount staining along the upper part of the right edge, not visible when framed. There is a small crease to the upper left corner, and two creases to the lower right corner. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
