Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and floating in the mount. The sheet is hinged to the mount at two points along the verso of the upper edge. The left and right edges are unevenly cut. The sheet is lightly time-stained and there are some very faint studio marks at centre right and upper left, possibly original. There are two tiny specks of foxing. This work is in overall very good condition.
