Condition

Executed on buff wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount at each corner and floating in the mount. The sheet is time-stained and there is an undulation to the paper surface particularly to the left and right edges, probably due to the application of mount adhesive. There is minor flattened creases in places, in particular to the left edge. There are a few scattered spots of foxing. This work is in overall good condition.
