Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on card. The lower part of the right edge is slightly unevenly cut. There are a few small paper losses towards the centre of the right edge and one to the left part of the lower edge. The sheet is slightly time stained, with traces of previous mounting to the edges. There are some scattered stains (or water marks) in places, mainly to the right part of the sheet. There are some occasional spots of foxing and minor stains, possibly related to the laying down process, to all four edges of the sheet and not visible when framed. There is a repaired tear to the upper right corner and one possibly to the lower left corner with a few thin associated creases. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
