Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is hinged to the mount on the verso of the upper corners. The edges are unevenly cut and deckled with minor handling creases. There is some waviness to the sheet along the left and right edges. The sheet is lightly time-stained and very slightly discoloured in the right half of the composition. There are a few faint spots of foxing in places and some minor handling and studio marks. This work is in overall very good condition.
