Condition

Executed on cream laid paper, laid down onto a sheet of restorer's paper, which is hinged to the mount at the upper two corners. The sheet is time stained and the restorer's sheet is supporting several repaired tears and paper losses, including two vertical tears at the centre of the lower edge, one to the centre of the upper edge, and a horizontal one to the centre of the upper right quadrant. There is some scattered foxing and light staining in places. This work is in overall fair condition. Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the paper tone slightly lighter in the original.
