Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to a sheet of paper intermittently along the edges, which is in turn hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge and floating in the mount. The left edge is slightly deckled. There are two tiny tears to the left part of the upper edge (each approx. 2mm long). The sheet is very slightly undulating and there are some faint dirt marks along the edges (possibly studio marks). There are some very faint pin-sized spots of foxing along the lower edge. This work is in overall good condition.
