Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the overmount along the edges. A close inspection reveals some slight uneveness to the surface of the sheet towards the upper right edge which appears to be original to the support. Apart from some light time-staining and a few tiny scattered spots of foxing, this work is in very good condition.
