Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and attached to the mount at all four corners and floating in the mount. The sheet is slightly time-stained. There is a horizontal crease across the whole sheet approx. 4cm. below the upper edge, which has resulted in a 2cm. tear to the right edge. There is a repaired hole to the upper left corner and some small spots of foxing to the lower right corner. There are some medium stains to the upper right corner, and there is a minor nick to the centre of the lower edge. This work is in overall fairly good condition.
