Condition
Executed on cream card, not laid down. A close inspection reveals a small nick to the surface of the work to the left of the upper edge, possily original to the support, and a few faint scattered spots of foxing in the blue pigment of the background, notably towards the upper corners. Otherwise, apart from some light general time-staining, this work is in very good original condition.
