Condition
Executed on thin tracing paper, laid down on paper. The sheet is slightly time-stained and there are some scattered minor surface stains in places, mainly to the edges, and a 1cm wide mount stain along the lower edge. There are small paper losses to the extreme lower left and upper right corners, and a few scattered small tears and creases elsewhere around the edges, the most significant of which are a 3 inch repaired tear at the upper edge, just above the horse's ears and a 2 inch partially repaired tear at the centre of the lower edge. This work is in overall fairly good condition.
