Condition
This work retains much of its original presents, despite some of the more delicate watercolour pigments having faded somewhat. The paper has discoloured a little and there is the occasional very minor foxmark. There is some minor surface dirt visible. Located in the upper right hand corner of the sheet is a soft crease. This work has not been laid down.
