Condition
Executed on a buff coloured wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the overmount in two places at the upper edge. The sheet is slightly time-stained and there is some minor scattered foxing in places. There is a small nick to the upper part of the extreme right edge. There are tape remnants to all four extreme edges of the verso due to previous mounting. There is a tiny paper remnant folded onto the recto, just below the signature. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall slightly more subtle in the original.
