Thence by decent

This work is in overall good condition. The pigments are bright and fresh. Executed on white wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is affixed to the mount at several points on the reverse. The edges are deckled. The sheet is time-darkened with an old mat stain visible along the extreme perimeter. There is a tin surface scratch in the foliage to the right of center a few scattered tiny specks of paint loss. Some minor paper skimming along the extreme upper edge possibly due to the removal of an old mount.
