Condition

Executed on white wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the mount at two points along the upper edge. There is a restored tear to the upper right edge with some discoloration to the surrounding sheet. A close inspection reveals a faint flattened crease running parallel to the upper edge, a few tiny tears to the edge of the sheet and a small nick to the surface of the sheet towards the feet of the rightmost figure. Otherwise, apart from some light time-staining, this work is in good condition.
