Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on card. The lower edge is perforated and torn from a sketch book. The sheet is time stained and the tips of the upper and lower left corners are folded. There are two small scuffs to the sheet towards the centre of the upper half of the sheet, barely visible and most probably inherent to the artist's process. This work is in overall good condition.
