Condition
Executed on irregularly-shaped buff-coloured laid paper, not laid down. The sheet is hinged to the overmount at two points along the upper edge. The edges are uneven and deckled with minor handling marks, creases and tiny nicks and tears. There are a few artist's pinholes, mostly towards the upper right, and several small repaired tears to the edges which are for the most part not visible when framed. A few flattened creases in places, notably running diagonally from the upper left corner and from the centre right edge. The sheet is lightly time-stained with a few scattered spots of foxing. There is a media stain at centre right which is perhaps original. This work is in fair overall condition.
