Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, examined unframed. The sheet bears the watermark 'Valentin Hureau Paris' near the lower edge. There is a 10cm diagonal flattened fold running from the lower right corner and a very minor curved crease visible in the head of the right figure. Minor creasing is also visible along the left edge and pencil inscriptions appear to have been erased in the upper right corner. Apart from a few tiny, faint spots of foxing, this work is in very good original condition.
