Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount in three places along the upper edge and floating in the mount. The edges are deckled. The sheet is slightly undulating due to application of medium. There is some rubbing to the extreme lower edge and some craquelure to the black pigment by the owl's tail, which has resulted in some minor flecks of paint losses. There are a few further areas of craquelure to the black ink. This work is in overall good original condition.
