Condition
The sheet is affixed to the mount with four tabs. The sheet appears sound. There is evidence of some discolouration to the sheet, most apparent at the upper and left edges, and there are some faint spots of foxing visible. There are some handling marks to the sheet, including soft, light creases in the upper right and lower left corners, not wholly visible in the present frame. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
