Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and hinged to the mount at the upper two corners. The left and right edges are deckled. The sheet is time stained with some gentle undulation to the left and right edges, and there are humidity marks in places away from the composition which could be improved. A thin line of pigment loss is visible on the central tulip and there are tiny flecks of pigment loss to the upper central flower. This work is in overall good condition.
