Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on Japan paper. The sheet is hinged to the overmount at two points on the verso. The edges are decked and slightly uneven. There is a sinuous repaired tear running in a semi circle from the centre left edge to the lower left edge (of approximately 14cm.) which is not visible when framed. There are a few further minor flattened creases and repaired tears along the lower edge and in the upper right corner. The sheet is lightly time-stained with a few faint scattered spots of foxing. Remnants of old framers tape visible at intermittent points along the edge of the verso. This work is in fair condition.
