Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down and t-hinged to the mount at the upper two corners. The upper and left edges are deckled and the right and lower edges are slightly unevenly cut. There is a crease running vertically 7cm in from the right edge. There is some time-staining along the extreme upper edge and a spot of foxing on the white area of the figure's neck. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue though the sheet slightly warmer and the colours overall more vibrant.
