Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, examined unframed. The left edge is deckled, indicating the page has been taken from a perforated sketchbook. There is a very faint diagonal flattened fold running from the upper left corner towards the lower edge. The upper and right edges are slightly scuffed and there are some minuscule nicks to the lower edge. Apart from some minor creasing and some tiny spots of light foxing, this work is in overall very good original condition.
