Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, taped to the overmount in three places along the upper edge. The sheet is time stained and there is scattered foxing in places. There are glue and tape remnants to all four extreme edges due to previous mounting and with some associated medium rubbing. There is an approximately 0.5cm long tear to the centre of the upper edge and a small spot of paper skinning to the centre of the composition. Otherwise this work is in overall fairly good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the colours slightly warmer in the original.
