Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, attached to the mount along the upper and lower edges and to the centre of the right and left edges, and floating in the mount. Apart from some minor undulations to the sheet due to the mounting process, mainly to the upper right corner, a nailhead-sized nick to the lower centre of the left edge, and some minor discolouration to the lower right corner, this work is in good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate, the colours are slightly stronger in the original.
