Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount at the upper two corners. There is a 7.5cm-long vertical repaired tear to the upper right corner away from the image, a tiny repaired tear to the upper left corner and two tiny repaired nicks to the extreme left edge. There is an artist's pinhole to each of the upper two corners and one at the upper centre edge, minor creasing to the upper left and lower right corners. There is a tiny stain towards the upper centre edge. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours : overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the paper tone is slightly warmer in the original.
